Even all four gospels are complementary and all tell about the story of Jesus, the gospel of John is different from the gospel of Matthew, Mark & Luke. The differences between these three Gospels and John’s include the language used, the timeline, the material covered, e.g. there is no record of the genealogy of Jesus’ birth or childhood, but also there is a unique approach by John to the life and ministry of Jesus, giving emphasis to the Divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mathew, Mark & Luke are called synoptic gospel<\/strong> since the 18th century because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in very similar wording. The term synoptic is derived from a combination of the Greek words (syn = together) and (opsis = seeing) to indicate that the contents of these 3 Gospels can be viewed side-by-side.<\/p>\n

The author of this book is John, one of the 12 apostles’ of Jesus, “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (Jn.13:23, 19:26, 20:2, 21:7, 21:20 & 24), also known as the son of Zebedee, and brother of James called “Son of Thunder” & he wrote this book after the gospel or accounts of Matthew, Mark & Luke, between A.D. 85-90, this was after the destruction of Jerusalem (70 A.D.), but before John was exiled to the Island of Patmos.<\/p>\n
