The answer
The Diatessaron. Its author, Tatian, blended Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into a single account, one story in place of four.
Why it’s interesting
In Syria it was read instead of the separate Gospels down into the fifth century. A blended Gospel has to do something with the places where the tellings differ, such as a roof dug through in Mark and a roof of tiles in Luke (Mark 2:4; Luke 5:19).
