Best Answer
A:Among the New Testament gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as synoptic ('seen with the same eye') gospels, because when laid sise by side in the original Greek language and seen with the same eye, it can be shown that two of these gospels must have been based on the third. The original of these gospels is now known to have been Mark's Gospel.

On the other hand, when John's Gospel is laid alongside the others, its dependence is not immediately apparent. Because John was more loosely based on Luke and, to a lesser extent, Mark, there are few similarities in the text and even the storyline often differs. It is therefore not a synoptic gospel.

The Gospel of John is not one of the "synoptic gospels"
