Things to Remember when Reading the Gospel

Things to remember when reading the bible:

1. It was written many years after Jesus death and resurrection.
2. The authors are just an ordinary humans and some of them may not even be eye witness to the acutal event.
3. The authors are just ordinary humans subject to human limitations in terms of memory of details.
4. The authors have their own specif audience and purpose hence the four Gospels differ in some ways.

Did Jesus actually said so and so and in such manner? How can someone write an acicurate historical account when the time of writing is sifnificantly remote form the events.

Bearing the above in mind, misinterpretation will be minimize.
