We wrap up the book of John by exploring how this gospel differs from the synoptic gospels in its purpose. Matthew, Mark, and Luke focus on the teachings of Christ and documenting the things that He does. John focuses more on who Jesus is. He writes that we (his readers) might believe. Scriptures referenced include John 20:31; John 6:29; John 3:1-21; John 4:1-26; John 14:1–6, 16; John 16:33; John 17; John 1:1–3, 14; John 5:22–23; John 9:5; John 10:18, 28; John 19:30; Isaiah 35:8; Zechariah 8:3; Genesis 2:7; John 15:1, 5; Romans 9:6; John 8:58; 14:8–9; and John 20:28.
