Yes, thank you for asking, as a Catholic, I have some idea, thank you. You too can learn about it

Jesus Christ preached the Gospe -- His good news.

Some of it is encapsulated, as Ann said, in Matthew Mark Luke and John. The rest as is referred in scripture -- John 21: 25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.", hence we have Holy Tradition. It's wrong to make one's own opinion on Johjn 21 -- that says clearly that Jesus taught and did much, much more

Jesus preached the Gospel, we have a, well, shortened version that is encapsulated in Matthew, MArk, Luke and John.

the Holy Tradition which kept the Gospel of Christ alive. The Epistles refer to THIS. Hence thank you for proving that Holy Tradition was necessary and that it preserved the Gospel and that the written Gospels only encapsulate part of the overall Good News (Gospel)

The Apostles taught us the Traditions of God -- the Holy Tradition, this is different from the traditions of men like Calvin etc.

The Good News that Christ preached is contained in Holy Tradition, so hence partially in Scripture -- as John 21 points out. The good news is on redemption of sins and on His coming kingdom -- ref Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people

What was the good news Jesus preached ? He was not reading from the "books we call the gospels " when He preached HIS gospel .

I think it is interesting that Catholics can never tell me what the Good news is.. maybe because they do not have any???
