The last gospel is also perhaps the most peculiar. It is clearly a gospel set apart from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and that's why it isn't included in the Synoptic Gospel grouping. The gospel takes a more dynamic tone, one that is more personal, yet more colorful.
The gospel was written by the disciple John, a person who was clearly close to Jesus. He is labelled as a disciple whom Jesus loved. Because of this, it seems John really focused on Jesus' identity. He was extremely descriptive in his signs related to the mission, discourses, and miracles of Jesus. John also seems to really focus on the gift of Jesus, and the true impact of His sacrifice.
John's Gospel account is extremely powerful, and is recommended by many to be the first Gospel account to read for new converts. It depicts Jesus perfectly, and is completely focused on the totality of His mission.
