How does John's Gospel differ from the Synoptic Gospels?

Answered in 1 source

John's Gospel offers a unique theological reflection on Jesus' nature and missions, focusing on belief (John 20:31).

Unlike the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), which present a more straightforward account of Jesus' life and miracles, the Gospel of John emphasizes the deeper theological truths behind these events. John was written later and reflects the insights of an apostle who had spent many years in fellowship with Christ. His narrative focuses significantly on the theme of belief, using various signs and wonders not merely as historical facts but as divine truths that reveal Christ's glory and identity. This distinctive angle aims to cultivate faith in readers, leading them to understand Jesus not just as a historical figure but as the Son of God.
