If you adhere to the belief that the development of the entire body of scripture has been divinely guided, there is the simple answer to authority. Even the discrepancies should be assumed to have purpose.
If you seek the historical rather than the divine Jesus, other writings dating from and shortly after his death would be useful. I doubt there can ever be an authoritative accounting, or even necessarily an accurate concensus. There can only be a balance of evidence.
