Different perspectives, different audiences, different foci.

each author was writing to different audiences even of different ethnicity, as well as with a different perspective to share about Jesus

Four different men wrote for four different reasons to four different audiences. It makes sense that their accounts would vary and have different emphasis.
-
Each author views events based on their perspective (eg doctor vs missionary), the audience they are writing to, and the reason they are writing.
-
The authors differ in their accounts at times because they saw the event from their lens be it a fisherman, businessman, missionary etc. They were looking through each unique lens of their work and writing about what stuck out to them.
