Also, the vinegar the last one is refering to was (I believe) the roman guards mocking him and refusing to give him water, just vinegar.

I think that all of the jesus quotes are in fact true; he got pissed at god, asked god to take care of his spirit (was given vinegar at some point, it is hard to be sure when) then said "it is done" and died. I believe all of the above happened, and I am pretty sure that most christians accept all of the above as well (it isnt really a stretch, i mean if you wanna split hairs do it with somthing more "magical" then Jesus's last words). If you wish to debate jesus's divinity, go ahead, but it is an actual historical fact that a man named Jesus was crucified by the romans.
If in fact all 3 recollections are correct, all 3 people would be very bad story tellers. If 3 people recorded 3 different things happening upon Jesus' death, and the recollections are all correct, that means that each of the men failed to report on 2/3rds of the event. If this is the case, what else did they miss?

Personally, it's hard to believe that all three events happened, when each writer specifically states (paraphrased) "Jesus did _______ and then gave up the ghost".
It doesn't read as "Jesus did ______, and then some other stuff, but Luke and John got my back, so read about what else he said in their chapters. Then he gave up the ghost".
