YHVH which was known as the Sacred tetragrammaton.

None of the Gospels was written solely to provide an accurate historical account of the life of the Messiah. Although they do give us some idea of that history, after all it is His Story.
Each Gospel is directed at a specific audience with events portrayed in such a way as to be the most meaningful to that audience.
In each Gospel the words and the actions of Jesus are paramount. Also, The use of phrases, the way the events are recorded, the importance of the first and last miracles listed in that Gospel. All written so as to emphasize the points of that Gospel.
Matthew was written to the Jews. Demonstrated who Jesus was. Genealogy begins with Abraham and runs through King David. Undisputable evidence that Jesus was Messiah, the Lion of Judah, from the line of David.
There are more references to events foretold of in the Old Testament prophecies and fulfilled in the Life of Jesus in Matthew than in any other Gospel account.
Marks gospel was written to the Romans. His purpose was to portray Jesus as the obedient servant of God.
The word for “be quiet” is he Greek verb phimoo and means to shut up, put a muzzle on it. The same word used in chap 4 when He calmed the storm.

Psa 35:7, How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. (Kanaphs).
Mal 4:2, But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings…
"Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
John wrote to the Church and his Gospel is in many ways perhaps the most unique, as it is based upon 7 miracles,
No star, angels, shepherds. No wise men. No mention of Bethlehem or Mary and Joseph. No genealogy of Jesus to introduce His birth. No description of the events preceding and surrounding the birth of Jesus.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah and the source of eternal life.
The Word is eternal. The Word is God. The Word is the Creator. The Word is the source of life. The Word is the source of salvation. The Word became flesh. The Word is the Son of God sent by the Father.
Joh 20:31, They were "written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name".
"I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.“ "I am the light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."

"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies." "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser."
John's Gospel covers only about 21 days out of the Lord's perhaps 3 and a half year ministry. All of the Gospels put together cover only about 60 days in the earthly ministry of the Lord.
YHVH Y = 10 H = 5 V = 6 H = 5 26
Understanding all of Who Jesus was and is requires reading all four Gospels.
Sarai become Sarah and Abram became Abraham.
John devotes nearly 10 chapters (John 12-20) to the Lord's last week and used 13 of the gospel's 879 verses to describe His last 24 hours.
