A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the Last Supper takes place on the evening of the day of the Passover - it is the Jewish Seder feast. John's Gospel moves the chronology (eg John 19:14) so that in his crucifixion, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of the Passover, and therefore this gospel omits the ritual Last Supper. Apart from mentioning that Jesus and the disciples had their evening meal, John replaces the Last Supper by a ritual in which Jesus washes the feet of the disciples.

How many years did Jesus teach before the last supper?
The mission of Jesus that is described in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) appears to have lasted less than one year. In these accounts, Jesus only went to Jerusalem for the Passover on one fateful occasion.In John's Gospel, Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Passover at least three times, so in this account his mission certainly lasted at least three years.
Why did the Last Supper not appear in the Gospel of John?
The Last Supper does appear in the Gospel of John, beginning at Chapter 12, verse 1. Jesus spends this time with his disciples, instructing them at the supper in chapters 12-14, and He further instructs them on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane, chapters 15&16.AnswerThe Last Supper was the Passover feast and appears in the Synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, because Passover occurred on the Thursday before the crucifixion. In John's Gospel, the Passover was on the Friday of the crucifixion, so there is no Last Supper recorded, instead Jesus washed the feet of the disciples.
Which Gospels include the Last Supper?

In John's Gospel, the Passover was on the Friday of the crucifixion, so there is no Last Supper recorded, instead Jesus washed the feet of the disciples.
What is the difference between Passover and last supper?
In the synoptic gospels, the Last Supper was on the day of the Jewish Passover feast, so we can say that Jesus and the disciples were partaking of the Passover feast.In John's Gospel, the crucifixion was on the day of preparation for the Passover, so John does not describe a Last Supper, saying just that on evening before, when their supper was ended, Jesus washed the feet of the apostles.
What gospel does not contain a communion or last supper narrative?
A:In the three synoptic gospels, the Last Supper is the feast of the Jewish Paassover (eg Mark 14:16) and each describes the events at that meal, after which Jesus went to pray, was arrested and then crucified on the following day. For theological reasons, John's Gospel has the crucifixion take place on the day before the Passover feast, and so only mentions Jesus and the disciples at an ordinary evening meal. Instead of the Last Supper narrative, John contains a narrative about Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.

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 is between the Gospels and the letters?
The Acts of the Apostles which details the history of the early church is between the Gospel accounts and the epistles.
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.
What is the synoptic theory?
The Synoptic Theory relates to the gospel chapters of the new testament of the bible. It states that Matthew and Luke used both Mark and a person named Q as their sources.
Of the four evanglists which was not part of the synoptic writers?
Saint John (he wrote the gospel of john in the bible) is the evangelist who was not part of the synoptic writers. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were known as the synoptic writers because they had many of the same stories in their gospels.
Which Gospel was written independent of the Synoptic Gospels?
A:John's Gospel is certainly quite different to the synoptic gospels. It is almost completely independent of Mark's Gospel, from which scholars say that Matthew and Luke were copied. However, it is not really independent, as it was loosely based on Luke, with a small amount of material taken direct from Mark. Being further removed from Mark, and having been written with somewhat less concern compared with Matthew and Luke for following the source as closely as possible, John's Gospel is relatively independent of the Synoptic Gospels.
