The Gospel of John is uniquely different than the three Synoptic Gospels because there is no eating of the Passover meal by Jesus described in the Gospel of John. Jesus can be visualized to be taking the last supper before the start of the Passover. Therefore, there are differences in the order in which specific events take place in the life of Jesus before His crucifixion. Another difference between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels is that there is a lack of any parallel being directly similar to any of the Synoptic Gospels. The period of ministry of Jesus in the Gospel of John is calculated to be 3 years.
