John's Gospel differs from the Synoptic Gospels in several ways: it covers a different time span than the others; it locates much of Jesus' ministry in Judaea; and it portrays Jesus discoursing at length on theological matters. The major difference, however, lies in John's overall purpose.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.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 stories are unique to the Gospel of John : Jesus teaches in long discourses in John, but not using many parables. John has much unique material, such as the encounters with Nicodemus (John 3) and a Samaritan woman (John 4), as well as the washing of the disciples' feet (John 13), but not instituting the Lord's Supper.
What are two things that make John’s gospel unique special
John's Gospel tells a story of who Jesus was, the others tell us what he said and did. This gospel doesn't have any parables in it, whereas the others have many. Jesus is described in different metaphors, which isn't done in the others.
Which gospel is most accurate : According to the majority viewpoint, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, collectively called the Synoptic Gospels, are the primary sources of historical information about Jesus and the religious movement he founded. The fourth gospel, John, differs greatly from the other three.
Mark
The triple tradition itself constitutes a complete gospel quite similar to the shortest gospel, Mark. Mark, unlike Matthew and Luke, adds little to the triple tradition.
John wrote his gospel to convince people that Jesus is the Messiah, but his gospel also strengthens the faith of those who already know that Jesus is the Messiah.
What is the most important gospel
Although the Gospel of Matthew was not the first gospel written, it is generally regarded as the most important and was placed first in the collection of writings that constitute the New Testament.John's theme of life- eternal life, comes up again and again. One could argue this is his main purpose: to demonstrate Jesus as the source of eternal life. We've been throwing around the term “gospel” a lot.The Gospel of John is a relatively late theological document containing little accurate historical information that is not found in the three synoptic gospels, which is why most historical studies have been based on the earliest sources Mark and Q.
Mark
According to the majority of scholars, Mark was the first to be written, using a variety of sources, followed by Matthew and Luke, which both independently used Mark for their narrative of Jesus's career, supplementing it with a collection of sayings called "the Q source", and additional material unique to each.

What was John’s single most important message
John speaks extensively in his letters of the central significance of love. True Christians love God (1 John 4:20; 5:2, 10) and love other believers (2:10; 3:11, 14, 18; 4:7). Indeed, the two must go together, for “whoever loves God must also love his brother” (4:21).
For most people, that preferred version is the Gospel of John. Not only is the fourth Gospel the most poetic and 'spiritual' of Gospels, it's also the most theologically weighty. It's in John that Christians find the evidence for many of the dogmatic claims that form the bedrock of Christian belief.Relation to Mark
