The below shows how the chronologies are different even between two of the Gospels. Seeing this difference (some may say contradiction) shows that the writers weren’t as concerned with timing but were more intent on getting the facts in their books.
Mark
Calling the Disciples (1:16-20)
Intro to ministry in Capernaum (1:21-22)
Casting out a demon (1:23-28)
Healing Simon’s mother-in-law (1:29-31)
Healing multitudes (1:32-34)
Trying to visit other cities (1:35-39)
Cleansing the leper (1:40-45)
Luke
Intro to ministry in Capernaum (4:31-32)
Casting out a demon (4:33-37)
Healing Simon’s mother-in-law (4:38-39)
Healing multitudes (4:40-41)
Trying to visit other cities (4:42-44)
Calling the Disciples (5:1-11)
Cleansing the leper (5:12-16)
We have the same 7 events, yet the calling of the disciples is in two different spots. The facts are there, but the timing isn’t important. If it were, then the Holy Spirit would have corrected them. There are other instances of differing orders of events, but this was one of the clearer examples.
The above is based on an excerpt from Appendix D in an essay on “The Problem of Apparent Chronological Contradictions in the Synoptics”. https://www.xenos.org/essays/problem-apparent-chronological-contradictions-synoptics
