The Gospel of John is unlike the three other gospels in the New Testament. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called Synoptic Gospels because they derive mostly from the same source material and thus tell more or less the same story about an itinerant Jewish preacher and peasant from Nazareth named Yeshua (Jesus in Greek) who performed miracles and healed the sick, who preached about the Kingdom of God, who was declared to be the Messiah and savior of the world, and who, as a result of that declaration, was arrested and executed by the Roman authorities before rising from the dead three days later.
