This just wasn't the main purpose.So, John doesn't describe what Jesus said accurately?
Jesus' teachings in the Synoptics greatly differ from those in the fourth gospel. Since the 19th century, scholars have almost unanimously accepted that the Johannine discourses are less likely to be historical than the synoptic parables, and were likely written for theological purposes.[98] Nevertheless, scholars generally agree that the fourth gospel is not without historical value.
