For one thing, it's a whole lot shorter! Matthew, Mark, and Luke are often referred to as the synoptic gospels because they basically cover the same events, often from a slightly different perspective. Some Biblical researchers and scholars speculate that there was another gospel before Matthew's (the earliest of the synoptics) that all three were loosely based on. This is called proto-Matthew. John's gospel, however, is completely different, though it does cover a few of the same events. It's really interesting to read them all within a short span of time, so you can actively compare them with each other. Because two or three people saw each event a little differently, you can get a better perspective on the whole thing. The little differences are actually marks of authenticity.

Mark is shorter - it's actually the shortest of the four gospels. Mark focuses heavily on the miracles Jesus performed. It also has a rather abbreviated and abrupt account of the resurrection. Matthew's gospel was originally written for a more Jewish audience, and so it contains more references to how Jesus fulfills various Old Testament prophesies.

Many differences. Mark has no narrative of Jesus birth. Mark often uses a Greek form called historical present, for instance in 1:12 the Spirit "drives" (a present tense verb) Jesus to the wilderness. The effect is that it reads like a script, the action is current rather than past.

convinced, quite diverse. you note it more beneficial interior the unique Greek although. Mark's is an straightforward tale, very similar to one you'll tell round a campfire. Matthew's change into directed in certain in direction of a Jewish target audience. So, it had a diverse set of readers, a diverse form, and also fancier language. somewhat; nonetheless "Koine" or highway Greek (in assessment to John's writing), yet, diverse than Mark's.

Seems to be a very vague question.
Each apostle wrote what they saw and that naturally gives different perspectives.
Each person places a different priority of the things they see.
Each was also written to a specific audience.
I suppose there are a great many specific differences but these are some of the overall differences.

Different POV and also, a different audience. Each gospel was written for a different type of conversion. I can't remember who wrote what, but one was for Jews to understand that Jesus was the messiah (so it gave his lineage from the time of David, which was important), one wrote for the conversion of Gentiles, another wrote to speak to the Romans, and one wrote for those who had converted to fully understand Christ. As I said, I can't remember who wrote which.

different point of view, just like it is different from lukes and johns, they are all basically the same but yet they each came across little different people, so they have a different yet very similar point of view.
