All four Gospels contain different interpretations of Jesus and his teachings. However, Mark, Matthew, and Luke clearly have an underlying inspiration, especially in relation to the Gospel of John. Before focusing on the different elements in John compared to the three Synoptic Gospels, it is important to know why John is included as a Gospel if it is so different.

These records are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four Gospels constitute a single literary genre and their central message is distinctive.

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they all contain either similar or identical stories from Jesus’ life.
