If you are referring to the many different sides of His personality it is because the writers wanted to make sure we were able to take in the whole "person" of Christ. Just as we individually have differing attitudes and tendencies, so did Christ. Christians drawn closer to the Savior by knowing, learning, and reading more about Him.

∙ 10y agoBecause they all are different people. Their goals for writing were also different. Matthew was a historian, so that is why a genealogy is included at the beginning. John could relate to the common people of that day. Luke was a physician and got a bit more into the how of a lot of things.

∙ 11y agoIt's because the stories are the same but people are not... the meaning the stories tell are the same but as they are carried forward through generations, people add their own little details and interpretations.
So, in short you can never know which detail is true... what you can do is just look for the meaning the gospel is trying to convey

What sort of people did Jesus mix with?
Jesus had dealings with many different types of people. Many of His encounters with people are recorded in the Gospels.

This drew criticism from the proud religious leaders of His day.
Why were there so many chapters written about the last week of Jesus' life?
We have four Gospels in the Bible. These Gospels give us the life of Jesus Christ from four slightly different angles. Because Jesus Christ came to earth to die for mankind's sin on the cross of Calvary this portion of the Gospels is very important. This was Jesus' greatest mission for coming to earth. No other person could appease God for the sins of man except Jesus. He was the God/Man, He was sinless, the Messiah that had been predicted to come for centuries before the event actually happened. He was the only one qualified to die for man and He is the only way to heaven, there is no other way. John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."
