In John, however, Jesus not only embraces talk about his divinity, but he also publicly declares it. In the synoptic Gospels, Jesus speaks in parables (code); In John, the parables are absent altogether and in their place is a Jesus who is very direct about who he is and what he has come to do.John portrays Jesus as “a God striding over the face of the earth.” He does this by highlighting his divine qualities which can be seen in many of the gospels stories. John portrays Jesus' relationship with Judas much differently than in the gospel of Mark.So John draws on a different set of traditional sayings of Jesus than do the first three gospels of the New Testament. Jesus in the Gospel of John is difficult to reconstruct as an historical person, because his character in the gospel is in full voice giving very developed theological soliloquies about himself.
Why was John so special to Jesus : John was a leading member of Jesus's original Twelve Apostles, one who had a close personal relationship with the Savior and served important roles as His witness, as a leader of the Church, and as a revelator.

What is special about Gospel of John
The portrayal of Jesus' death in John is unique among the four Gospels. It does not appear to rely on the kinds of atonement theology indicative of vicarious sacrifice but rather presents the death of Jesus as his glorification and return to the Father.In John's Gospel, by contrast, there are no parables or exorcisms. Jesus' teaching focuses much more on his own identity and his unique relationship with the Father. Jesus is the eternal Son who has come to reveal the Father. Salvation comes by knowing the Father through the Son.Unlike the authors of the Synoptics, John inserts himself into the story of the Gospel in more direct ways. He is most likely the enigmatic figure known as the “beloved disciple” who is one of the twelve. He has a special relationship with Jesus, even laying his head on his chest at the Last Supper (13:23).
