The Gospel of John is believed to have been written last and is notably different in tone, content, and structure compared to the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). While the Synoptic Gospels focus on the life and teachings of Jesus, John emphasizes his divine nature and includes unique theological insights. The narrative style and the use of symbolic language in John further distinguish it from the other three.
