There are four gospels in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Three gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, are called the synoptic gospels because they agree moderately well on the life and teachings of Jesus, although each is a little different from the other two.
John's Gospel is quite a good deal different from the other gospels. Some scholars believe that John was originally written in a Gnostic community and was subsequently edited to remove some of the more clearly Gnostic material, although the gospel still has a Gnostic flavour. John is the only gospel that states Jesus to be God and to have been pre-existing. John also contains a good deal of material that is not in the other gospels, including a much longer account of the appearances of the risen Jesus. Although some say that this gospel is concerned with themes rather than the chronological order of events, it is nevertheless true that events are certainly placed in a different sequence compared to the other gospels. Scholars have noted that the events in the mission of Jesus, as described bythe synoptic gospels, could have taken place in as little as one year, but the events described in John's Gospel would require four years.
John wrote to give more of a theological presentation of whom Christ was and why He came. His purpose was more evangelistic in nature. Christ's role as Lord and Messiah is particularly emphasised, and encapsulated in the seven great "I Am" statements.

Why are the gospels of Matthew mark and Luke known as the synoptic Gospel?
Another answer from our community:'Synoptic' means "presenting or taking the same point of view". However, this description goes only part way to describing these three gospels. It is widely accepted by scholars that Mark's gospel is most likely the earliest. In addition, Luke's gospel and Matthew's gospel contain almost the whole of Mark's account, and must therefore, scholars believe, have been written later than Mark's gospel and based on Mark's gospel. In addition to Mark's account, both Luke and Matthew contain another group of verses that are similar, but not present in Mark, which are believed to have been obtained from a now lost source called 'Q' ('Quelle' = who?). Where Luke and Matthew differ is therefore likely to be a significant amount of original material added by Luke and Matthew themselves. However, despite these differences, there is sufficient material in these three gospels that is similar, or identical, to warrant the theory that they were all based, at least in part, on a single document, the gospel of Mark. Hence the term 'synoptic' Note the contrast with the gospel of John where there is very little material common with the other three, and the style is very personal, suggesting strongly that this gospel was written totally independently of the others.
