Abstract: Summary. In New Testament studies, the synoptic problem is concerned with the relationships between the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. A careful specification in probabilistic terms is set up of what is known as the triple‐link model, and, as a special case, the double‐link model. Counts of the numbers of verbal agreements between the gospels are examined to investigate which of the possible triple‐link models appears to give the best fit to the data.
