Gospel Of John Essay

The gospel of John is very different from Matthew Mark and Luke. It is non-synoptic. This mean that it did not draw inspiration from the other three gospels.

The argument against this says that Luke talks more about the spirit than Acts. However, Acts is about the spirit after Jesus. The Spirit isn’t directly cited in Acts, but it is heavily implied that all of the things that occur are to do with the Holy
