What is the triple tradition?
The triple tradition is the material that is common to all three of the synoptics. Almost all of Mark’s content is found in Matthew, and about two-thirds of Mark is found in Luke. The triple tradition largely consists of narrative material (miracles, healings, and the passion) but also contains some sayings material.
