How is Jesus as God significant in John's Gospel?
The synoptic Gospels did not really define Jesus as God, but portrayed him as human. The first Gospel written, the Gospel According to St Mark, has Jesus say "Why call me good. There is none good but God." (10:18). Matthew and Luke have Jesus born of the Holy Ghost, but still not truly divine.The Gospel According to St John opens by clearly stating that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He made it clear that, to him, Jesus was the Word and, therefore, Jesus existed from the beginning and was God. John's Gospel, written in Greek, also has Jesus saying 'I am' in such a context that, in Greek, he was telling his audience that he was God.The early Church Fathers were unenthusiastic about John's Gospel. It was too different to the synoptic Gospels and had overtones of Gnosticism, at the time a separate branch of Christianity. However, Irenaeus supported its clear statement of Jesus as divine, and insisted that there should be four gospels.

What synoptic gospel do Jesus and john argue in?
I am not a highly religious man but I do recall a story about Jesus and John arguing about being baptised. Now this might not be the correct answer I just thought I would put it in.
What difference between John's Gospel and the Synoptic Gospels most interested you and why?
A:An interesting difference between John's Gospel and the synoptic gospels is the timing of the crucifixion of Jesus. In the synoptic gospels, the Last Super celebrated the seder feast and marked the beginning of the Passover; Jesus was placed on the cross at the third hour (9 o'clock) the next morning and remained on the cross for six hours. In John's Gospel, Jesus was placed on the cross at the sixth hour (12 o'clock) on the day before the Passover. This is interesting because John is able to compare Jesus to the lamb that was sacrificed by the Jews on the day before the Passover, and because there is nothing anywhere in John's account that suggests that Jesus suffered - even Jesus' time on the cross is reduced to a symbolic duration.
What was Jesus clearly not trying to do by performing miracles?
AnswerSurprisingly, in the synoptic gospels and especially in Mark's Gospel, Jesus did not perform miracles in order to attract followers. He frequently told those he cured to tell no one about him.
Who introduced the apostle Peter to Jesus?
A:In the synoptic gospels, Jesus first met Peter and his brother Andrew as they were fishing at the Sea of Galilee. It is in John's Gospel that Peter was introduced to Jesus: Andrew was following Jesus and ran to tell Peter, who came and joined them.
Who wrote the four gosples?
The four gospels in the New Testament of the Bible were written by different authors. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, a disciple of Jesus. The Gospel of Mark was written by Mark, who was a companion of Peter. The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a companion of the apostle Paul. The Gospel of John was written by John, one of Jesus's disciples.
Did John assume that his readers understood the basic outline of the synoptic Gospels?
A:The author of John's Gospel certainly knew of the existence of Mark and Luke, as his own gospel was loosely based on those gospels (mainly Luke, but some material is from Mark), but like the author of Luke he seems entirely unaware of the existence of Matthew's Gospel. John was written to be the gospel of choice in the Johannine community and the synoptic gospels were probably discouraged. Nevertheless the anonymous author of Johnassumed his readers might have known the synoptic gospels, as evidenced by the fact that even when completely changing the synoptic account, he was careful not to directly contradict his sources.However, there is a difference between possibly knowing of the synoptic gospels and knowing them well enough that John need not tell everything about the life and mission of Jesus. When John omits details found in the synoptic Gospels of Mark and Luke, it was not because the author expected his readers to have found those stories elsewhere, while he focussed on important new information. For example, John omits the nativity story of Luke, but it can be seen elsewhere that the author and his community did not really believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
