X-Ray. What John’s Gospel is like in its representation of Jesus Christ.  Matthew is like a portrait painter who portrays Jesus as King of the Jews. Mark is like a journalist who takes digital snapshots of Jesus. Luke is a physician who is like a writer/producer who carefully researches and produces a full-length motion-picture of Jesus. The first three gospels are said to be “Synoptics,” in that they see together or similarly about Jesus. John is the most unique gospel writer. He gives us a deeper, more theological representation of Jesus, much as an X-Ray or Cat Scan or MRI would do.
