In John's Gospel no mention is made of the Demons. Why this is we do not know. To say that no reference is here made to them, was, because mention of them would be incompatible with the Divine glories of Christ, hardly seems satisfactory; for, Satan himself is referred to here, again and again.

Johns Gospel omits a large amount of material found in the synoptic Gospels, including some surprisingly important episodes: the temptation of Jesus, Jesus transfiguration, and the institution of the Lords supper are not mentioned by John. John mentions no examples of Jesus casting out demons. The sermon on the mount and the Lords prayer are not fo...
According to John, Jesus public ministry extended over a period of at least three and possibly four years. During this time Jesus goes several times from Galilee to Jerusalem. The synoptics appear to describe only one journey of Jesus to Jerusalem (the final one), with most of Jesus ministry taking place within one year.
The synoptics are written from a third person point of view, describing the events as if the authors had personally observed all of them and were reporting what they saw at the time. Thus they are basically descriptive in their approach. Johns Gospel, on the other hand, although also written from a third person point of view, is more reflective, cl...
There are numerous passages in Johns Gospel which could serve as an example of this later perspective. Four will serve as examples: John makes frequent use of the misunderstood statement as a literary technique. Jesus says something to someone which is misunderstood, thus giving Jesus a further opportunity to clarify what he really meant. Examples:...
In each of these passages it may be easily seen that John has adopted the post-resurrection point of view. He looks back on the events and emphasizes the inability of the apostles to understand the things that were happening in their true perspective at the time they occurred. It is only possible for us to understand these things when we consider t...
The Gospel of John passed on the words of Jesus predominantly in another genre than the synoptics; it did not do so in sayings, parables, and controversy dialogues, but in connected or dialogical discourses.25

Much of this antithetical dualism is also found in the Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls) texts. See J. H. Charlesworth, A Critical Comparison of t...
The problem of so-called realized eschatology in the Gospel of John (the term was popularized by C. H. Dodd) can be seen in microcosm in John 5:20b-30. On the one hand there are statements that speak of the parousia (second advent) as a future event in the traditional sense: for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice an...

John does mention the Eucharist, but not in the place we expect it to be from Paul's writing and the other gospels accounts. He ordered his account more for thematic reasons than for chronological or historical purposes.
Aug 15, 2014 · In this article we consider some of the unique aspects of John’s Gospel in its portrayal of the apostles. We do so bearing in mind that John wrote his Gospel so that we may believe, and in hope that our belief can spring up to eternal life through Jesus’ name.
Apr 26, 2024 · Brief Summary: The gospel of John includes only seven miracles—John calls them “signs”—to demonstrate the deity of Christ and illustrate His ministry. Some of these miracles and stories, such as the raising of Lazarus, are found only in John.
Until the beginning of the nineteenth century, mainstream theological consensus held that – unlike the three synoptic gospels – the author of John’s gospel was in fact one of Jesus’ apostles, the ‘beloved disciple’. Let’s take a closer look at the Gospel of John.
