 This volume is issued as an aid io the study of the life 
 of Jesus. It is felt that a more thorough acquaintance 
 with that life, in its plan and progress, may be obtained 
 by the method here presented than can be gained by the 
 fragmentary reading of the Gospels. "The importance 
 of studying the four Gospels in connection/' says Dr. G. 
 W. Clark, "cannot be too highly estimated or too earnestly 
 enforced. No clear and well-defined image of the Savior's 
 life can be formed in the mind without it. Selecting lead- 
 ing texts of events and discourses from the different Evan- 
 gelists will not answer the demand. Each Evangelist must 
 be allowed to contribute his part toward a full and perfect 
 likeness. The true chronological order must also, as far 
 as possible, be observed, or the view will be confused and 
 distorted. But the constant turning from one Gospel to 
 another, and the act of comparing and mentally deciding 
 and arranging, are exceedingly inconvenient and laborious, 
 and most persons who attempt it weary in the task. 
 Hence the great value of an arrangement of the Script- 
 ural text according to the probable order of events, . . . 
 so that the eye can survey all the narratives of any inci- 
 dent or utterance at a glance." 
 
 In his harmonized presentation of the events and dis- 
 courses of the four Gospels, the compiler of this work has 
 followed, in general, the arrangement adopted by many 
 modern Harmonists, among them Tischendorf, Robinson, 
 Strong, Clark and Gardiner, which is based upon the view 
 
VI PREFACE. 
 
 that Mark and John, with few exceptions, conform strictly 
 to the chronological order: while Matthew and Luke, on the 
 other hand, guided rather by the principle of association, 
 frequently group together transactions and narratives, 
 related to one theme or connected by a common thought, 
 though they may have occurred at different times and in 
 various places. Of the Harmonists named above, Dr. 
 Gardiner has been most closely adhered to, although the 
 arrangement of Kobinson and Clark has been adopted in a 
 few instances, as avoiding certain transpositions of some 
 of the discourses, and thereby, it is thought, enhancing 
 the value of the volume to Sunday-school workers for 
 whose use, as constituting the large majority of Bible 
 students among the laity, it has been especially prepared. 
 
 The chronology is that of the Rev. Samuel J. Andrews, 
 as presented in his "Bible Student's Life of our Lord," 
 New York and London. 
 
 The references are, in the main, those which were made 
 with extreme care and diligence by the learned and devout 
 Dr. Blayney in 1769, and since then generally printed in 
 the leading reference Bibles. To have given all these refer- 
 ences in full would have greatly increased the size and cost 
 of this book. Nor would it have served so well the end 
 had in view as the plan here adopted. It is hoped that 
 Scripture research will be stimulated by the offering of 
 selections only from the great storehouse of references; 
 for these selections may prove to the thoughtful and 
 devout reader guide-posts, pointing to the fertile fields be- 
 yond — beginnings of that "unfolding of the divine words 
 which," says the Psalmist, "giveth light." It has been 
 the endeavor, further, to give prominence to such refer- 
 ences as seem best adapted to illustrate the spiritual truths 
 taught in the text. The compiler desires here to bear 
 grateful testimony to the spiritual benefit which he feels 
 that he himself has gained from this special study, which 
 has extended over several years, an encouragement to 
 
PREFACE. VJ1 
 
 hope that his book may be the medium of a similar bless- 
 ing to many of his readers; and if that might be the result 
 of his labors, great indeed would be his reward. 
 
 The references thus chosen, as also the text itself, will 
 render the book helpful, it is thought, to leaders of prayer 
 and conference meetings, at which passages from the Gos- 
 pels are the theme for study. 
 
 The map and diagrams are a novel feature of this work, 
 and to them the reader's special attention is called. They 
 have been carefully prepared, and can hardly fail, if prop- 
 erly used, to facilitate an understanding of the text and to 
 aid the memory. 
 
 The compiler has advanced no novel or strictly original 
 views, but has followed closely in the track of men whose 
 right to speak with some measure of authority upon these 
 matters is undisputed. And yet he feels that he will not 
 misrepresent the views of these scholars, whom he has 
 chosen as guides, in stating that it is not claimed by them 
 that the order of events or the chronology here presented, 
 is established beyond question. To quote further from 
 Dr Clark, [These matters] "open a large field for the 
 exercise, both of the judgment and of charity. The 
 arrangement of many passages must depend largely on the 
 discriminating taste of the Harmonist. What may appear 
 probable and appropriate to one may seem less so to 
 another. Dogmatism, therefore, is out of place; caution 
 and a regard for the conclusions of others are ever becom- 
 ing, and the study and comparison of different harmonies 
 are desirable and very profitable." 
 
 Attention is called to the article on Bible Translations, 
 a subject of importance to every student of the Script- 
 ures. 
 
 No one can afford to overlook the Introduction by Dr. 
 Henson. There is much of instruction, and of suggestion 
 of deep truths presented in its pages. J. P. C. 
 
nfTEODUOTIOK 
 
 When we sing as we are accustomed to do, 
 "God is his own interpreter, 
 And he will make it plain," 
 
 the meaning is, of course, that those dark providences 
 which we so much dread, when interpreted by subsequent 
 providences, when taken in their relation to the whole 
 course of God's providence, when that shall be set forth 
 before us, instead of being regarded as black and baneful, 
 will be seen to be radiant with beauty and freighted with love. 
 
 But the words we have quoted are susceptible as well of 
 application to that higher and clearer revelation God has 
 given of himself in his Word. Not only is there an un- 
 folding of God's meaning in Scripture, even as there is in 
 Providence, so that what comes earlier is illuminated and 
 made intelligible by what comes afterwards, but even apart 
 from any chronological considerations, it must evermore 
 be borne in mind that every truth is many-sided and every 
 side, like the facets of a diamond, hath its own peculiar 
 hue of prismatic beauty. It is not possible to see all the 
 truth from any one standpoint, nor for any one form of 
 statement to exhaust the fullness of its meaning. 
 
 And so in what we call the Bible, God has given us 
 many books penned by many writers, each presenting such 
 views of truth as his mental and spiritual nature made 
 him specially adapted to be the vehicle of. Not that any 
 one of these Scripture writers was left to wander at his 
 " own sweet will," so that we must largely discount his 
 deliverances on account of his human imperfections and 
 the possibility of his misapprehending what the Lord 
 would have him teach. That were indeed to undermine 
 utterly the authority of the Scriptures, and " if the 
 foundations be destroyed what shall the righteous do?" 
 We do most thoroughly and invincibly believe that "holy 
 men of old spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," 
 
INTRODUCTION. IX 
 
 and that therefore what they spake may be absolutely 
 relied upon. But while we believe that all that each one 
 said was truth, God's truth, we do not believe it was all 
 the truth. You must have all that all of them said, in 
 order to be sure that you have all the truth. "Which 
 things we speak," writes the Apostle Paul, "not in the 
 words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy 
 Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spir- 
 itual." And only by such collation and comparison can 
 God's truth be comprehended in all the breadth and 
 beauty of its meaning. You cannot obtain any accurate 
 representation of a building by taking only a single view. 
 And so the photographer is accustomed to take two pict- 
 ures, from a little different points of view, and when both 
 these are looked at at once, as in a stereopticon, you see 
 not two pictures, but one, and that not a flat surface such 
 as each of the pictures shows, but a solid that stands 
 out in its massiveness before your eyes. And yet even 
 then you do not see the hinder part, but only half the 
 building. To see it all in its completed symmetry, we 
 should be obliged to have four views, and to look at them 
 all at once. But this is, of course, impossible, inasmuch as 
 we have not four eyes, but only two. But the principle 
 applies though its application be impossible. Singularly 
 enough there are just four gospels. The metropolis of 
 gospel truth, like the heavenly metropolis, lieth four square. 
 Pour pictures have we here of the matchless Man of Naza- 
 reth, — fourpictures, and all so much alike that sometimes 
 captious critics have said that there was only one original 
 gospel and the other three were copied from that. Four 
 pictures, and yet all so different that other skeptical 
 critics have alleged that there are glaring discrepancies 
 in them, that are hopelessly irreconcilable. The pict- 
 ures, of course, must be alike, for all of them are pictures 
 of Him. The pictures, of course, must be unlike, for 
 each of the portrait painters had his own peculiar point of 
 
X INTRODUCTION". 
 
 view. And yet it takes all four to give us the Christ of 
 history in all the completeness of his humanity and divin- 
 ity. And so we turn from one to the other, and seek as 
 best we can while gazing upon one to carry the others in 
 our mind; and yet to the ordinary reader, and even to the 
 reader that is more than ordinary, there is conscious diffi- 
 culty and more or less confusion, in attempting such a 
 process, and there would still be, even though all four of 
 the gospels were spread before us in parallel columns, as 
 has sometimes been done in preparing a gospel Harmony. 
 
 In the present volume the attempt is made to obviate 
 this difficulty by weaving the four into one, and making a 
 mosaic, in which the tracery and coloring of each of the 
 divinely-guided artist-evangelists shall be faithfully pre- 
 served, and so the matchless portrait of the Son of Man 
 shall beam upon us, as it were, from a single canvass in- 
 stead of four. How well the attempt has succeeded must 
 be left for the devout and scholarly student to judge. 
 That it is not an easy task which our author has under- 
 taken, he will himself very frankly concede; nor is it one 
 in which absolute perfection can be possibly attained by 
 human hands. That great pains have been taken, great 
 research employed, and marked ability displayed in the 
 preparation of this volume, must be readily apparent to 
 every thoughtful reader of it. That it will be an aid of 
 great value in Bible study, and that it will enhance our 
 appreciation of the marvelous unity in variety, harmony 
 in diversity, that distinguishes the gospel histories, and 
 above all that it will contribute not a little to the clear- 
 ness and fullness of our conceptions of him " in whom all 
 fullness dwells, and of whose fullness we have all received, 
 and grace for grace," I do very sincerely and firmly be- 
 lieve; and therefore I do very cordially commend it to all 
 who love him, and long for his appearing, and who feel 
 that above all things else, his "life is the light of men."

EXPLANATION" OF TEXT. 
 
 The figure ' in the text indicates that the portion fol- 
 lowing it has been taken from Matthew's Gospel. In like 
 manner the figures * 3 and 4 indicate the Gospel from which 
 the portions following them are taken, 2 indicating Mark, 
 3 Luke and 4 John. The figure ° indicates that the words 
 following it are not found in any of the four Gospels, bri 
 have been either introduced or substituted. 
 
 The chapters and verses given at the beginning of each 
 section show what portions of each Gospel are incorpo- 
 rated in that section. 
 
 The words in smaller type, in brackets, are those that 
 are not incorporated in the text either 1st, to avoid redun- 
 dancy, or 2d, because they do not *coalesce with the words 
 that are used in the text, or 3d, because they do not occur 
 in the same relative position in the Gospel from which 
 they camef as they do in the other Evangelists, much care 
 having been taken throughout the entire work to preserve 
 the exact sequence of each narrative wherever possible. 
 
 The figures ' 2 3 4 which refer to the different Evangelists 
 (as previously explained), when used within the brackets, 
 
 ♦The correct principle of uniformity in renderings which was adopted in 
 the new version has permitted the coalescing of the sacred narrative?, . 
 especially of the words of Jesus, to an extent that has been quite unex- 
 pected and most gratifying to the compiler, and in a very much more 
 complete manner than it was possible in the common version, where tho 
 incorrect principle of diversity in renderings was a characteristic. Sec 
 remarks on the two versions in ,the article entitled "A Brief History of the 
 Translations of the English Bible," page 363. 
 
 +As illustrative of this, see " example " given herewith, where the words 
 from Matthew " to come unto me," are put in the smaller type because they, 
 in the original narrative, follow the words " forbid them not " instead of 
 preceding them as is the case in Mark and Luke.

 taken, the text proper not being influenced by them. 
 
 EXAMPLE. 
 
 §105. Cheist Blessing Little" Children. 
 
 Perea (No. GJj). {Going South.) 
 
 Matt. 19:13-15. Mark 10:13-1G. Luke 18:15-17. 
 
 2 3 And they were bringing ['Then were there brought] ' 2 'unto 
 him ' "little children [ 3 aiso their babes], 1 "that he should 'lay 
 his hands on them, [ 2 3 touch them] and pray: s but when 
 [' 2 and] ' 2 s the disciples 3 saw it, they ' 2 3 rebuked them. But 
 "when ' 2 3 Jesus "saw it, he was moved with indignation, and 
 8 called them unto him, °and ' 2 said "unto them [ 3 saying], 
 1 2 3 Suffer the little children ' 3 to come unto me, ' 3 and ' 2 "for- 
 bid them not: ['to come unto me:] for to such belongeth the 
 
 kingdom of 2 3 God ['heaven.] 
 
 The number "64" in the heading refers to the corre- 
 sponding number on the " Map of the Pathways of Jesus." 
 The words "(Going South)" indicate the probable direc- 
 tion of his journey at the time when this incident occurred. 
 
 The figures 2 3 in the first line of the text indicate that 
 the words "And they were bringing" are taken from 
 Mark and Luke; while the brackets, the small type and 
 the figure ' indicate that these words " Then were there 
 brought " are from Matthew, but are not incorporated in 
 the text of this work. The figures 123 next following, 
 indicate that the words "unto him" are taken from 
 Matthew, Mark and Luke; and the figures ' 2 before " little," 
 indicate that the words "little children "are taken from 
 Matthew and Mark; while the brackets, small type and 
 figure 3 indicate that the words "also their babes" are 
 taken from Luke, but are not incorporated in the text. 
 In the same way it will be understood that the words " that 
 he should " are from Matthew, Mark and Luke; " lay his

 hands on them, and pray," are from Matthew, [ aa " touch 
 them"] are from Mark and Luke, but not incorporated in 
 the text; [ 12 and] is from Matthew and Mark, but not 
 incorporated in the text. The figure 6 in the sixth line, 
 indicates that the word "and" is not found in any Gospel, 
 but has been introduced. In a similar manner the re- 
 mainder of the section will be readily understood. 
 
 Thus every word and phrase in each of the Gospels 
 will be found in this work either woven into the text or 
 placed within the brackets in the smaller type. The 
 reader will therefore have a continuous narrative, a com- 
 plete Harmony, and a ready exhibit of the differences 
 between the Evangelists; and by his perusal of this one 
 account of the Savior's life lie will receive into his mind 
 in a clear and coherent form every thought that is found 
 in the four separate accounts. 
 
 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FOUKTH EDITION. 
 
 With a view to illustrate more fully the work which 
 was to be done in the preparation of this volume, and the 
 method by which that work was accomplished, the incident 
 on the opposite page is given, the four accounts being 
 arranged in parallel columns, and the words which occur 
 in only one Gospel being printed in display type. In the 
 illustration, short as it is, there are, it will be seen, over 
 one hundred words thus distinguished. The more 
 important differences are these: Matthew alone speaks (a) 
 of the fate of those who "take the sword," (b) of the 
 angels, and (c) of Jesus' desire to fulfill the Scriptures. 
 Luke alone mentions the healing ; and John alone gives 
 the names of Peter and Malchus, and speaks of the cup. 
 Only Luke and John mention which ear was smitten. On 
 page 315 will be found the consolidated narrative which 
 brings out in one reading all the facts which in the 
 arrangement in parallel columns can only be ascertained 
 after four separate readings and mutual comparisons.

 Son of God], " Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of aU 
 creation; (16) for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon

 things consist." Rev. 19:13, " His name is called the Word of God."

 He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness

 There was "in tlie days of Herod, king of Judaea, a 
 certain priest named Zacharias, *of the course of Abijali: 
 and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her 
 name was Elisabeth. And they were both 'righteous be- 
 fore God, walking in all the commandments and ordi- 
 nances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, 
 because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were 
 noiv well stricken in years. 
 
 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest's 
 office before God, ''in the order of his course, according to 
 the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into 
 the temple of the Lord and 'burn incense. •''And the 
 whole multitude of the people were praying without at 
 the hour of incense. And there appeared unto him an 
 angel of the Lord standing on the right side of y the altar 
 of incense. And 'Zacharias was troubled when he saw

 him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is 
 heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and 
 thou shalt call his 'name John. And thou shalt have joy

 THE CHILDHOOD OF OUB LORD.

 [Joseph's Line— Continued.'] 
 
 So all the generations from Abra- 
 ham unto David are "fourteen gener- 
 ations; and from David unto the 
 carrying away to Babylon fourteen 
 generations; and from the carrying 
 away to Babylon unto the Christ 
 fourteen generations.

 of Nahum, 
 of Amos, 
 > of Mattathias, 
 of Joseph, 
 of Jannai, 
 of Melchi, 
 of Levi,

 of Heli. 
 
 Jesus himself was 
 about "thirty years 
 of age, 'being the 
 son (as was suppos- 
 ed) of Joseph. 
 
 v [The first division ends with David, including him in number 14 ; the 
 second division begins with David, including him also in the second 14. 
 This is in accordance with usage, but shows that this statement of Matthew 
 as to the number of the generations is meant to apply only to the list given, 
 and not to the number which had actually existed . The same thing appears 
 from the fact that in Matthew's list the names of Jewish kings are omitted 
 between Joram and Uzziah, viz. : Ahaziah, Joash and Amaziah. Also, be- 
 tween Josiah and Jechoniah, the name of Jehoiakim is omitted. Of the 
 existence of these intermediate generations St. Matthew, regarded simply 
 as a pious Jew, could not have been ignorant. Such omissions in genealo- 
 gies abound in Scripture. Thus, Ezra (1:1-5) in recording his own gene- 
 alogy, omits six or seven of the names given in 1 Chro. 6:3-15. (C/. also 
 l\Chro. 4:1 with 2:50, etc.)— Gardiner.] [One of the purposes of this group- 
 ing into periods was probably to assist in memorizing the list.] [Matthew 
 aims to shew that Jesus is the heir of the two great Jewish covenants 
 —that with Abraham, andthat with David. To this end he must establish, 
 first, that Joseph, Jesus' legal father, was of David's house, and so a lawful 
 heir of the dignity promised in the covenant ; second, that Jesus stood in 
 such relation to Joseph as himself to have legal claim to all promises be- 
 longing to the latter. He therefore brings prominently forward in his Gos- 
 pel the fact that Joseph was of royal lineage, and cites his genealogical 
 register in proof.— Andrews, page 54.] [Adding the four omitted names to 
 Matthew's list, Jesus was thirty-one generations removed from David in 
 Joseph's line, and forty -two generations from David in his mother's line ; 
 thus giving an average of thirty-two years to a generation in the former 
 line and about twenty-four years to a generation in the latter line.]

 us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and

 1 "Ye "offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the

 that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of 
 money sitting: and he made a scourge of cords, and cast 
 all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and 
 he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their 
 tables; and to them that sold the doves he said, Take 
 these things hence; make not c my Father's house a house

 Jesus answered and said unto them, ■''Destroy this temple

 Forty and six years was this temple in building, and 
 wilt thou raise it up in three days? But he spake of the 
 "temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from

 him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is 
 deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art 
 thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well,

 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh 
 of this water shall thirst again: but ''whosoever drinketh 
 of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but 
 the water that I shall give him 'shall become in him a well 
 of water springing up unto eternal life. *The woman saith 
 unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither 
 come all the way hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, 
 Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman 
 answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus 
 saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husbdnd: for

 been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. When Jesus 
 saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long

 no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the

 Now it was the ^sabbath on that day. So the Jews 
 said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and 'it is 
 not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. But he answered 
 them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, 
 Take up thy bed, and walk. They asked him, Who is the 
 man that said unto thee, Take up thy led, and walk? 
 But he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus 
 had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place. 
 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto 
 him, Behold, thou art made whole: •''sin no more, lest a 
 worse thing befall thee. The man went away, and told 
 the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. And 
 for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he 
 did these things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered 
 them, "My Father worketh even until now, and I work. 
 For this cause therefore the Jews "sought the more to kill 
 him, because he not only brake the sabbath, .but also called 
 God his own Father, making himself 'equal with God.

 things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like 
 manner. 'For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth 
 him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than 
 these will he shew him, that ye may marvel. For as the 
 Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, "even so the 
 Son also quickeneth whom he will. For neither doth the 
 Father judge any man, "but he hath given all judgment 
 unto the Son; that all may honour the Son, even as they 
 honour the Father. "He that honoureth not the Son hon- 
 oureth not the Father that sent him. Verily, verily, I say 
 unto you, p He that heareth my word, and believeth him 
 that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judg- 
 ment, but 'hath passed out of death into life. Verily, 
 verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, 
 'when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and 
 they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in 
 himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in 
 himself: and "he gave him authority to execute judgment,

 sider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, 
 neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solo- 
 mon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which 
 to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he 
 not much more clothe you, ye of little faith? Be not 
 therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What 
 shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 
 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your 
 heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these 
 things. 'But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteous-

 not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? 
 And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And 
 the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and 
 gather them up? But lie saith, Nay; lest haply while ye 
 gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. Let

 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man

 these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are 'the 
 sons of the evil one; and the enemy that sowed them is 
 the devil: and 'the harvest is the end of the world; and 
 the reapers are angels. As therefore the tares are gath-

 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net [Marg.,

 The Jews therefore "strove one with another, saying,

 *ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood,

 eateth me, he also shall live because of me. This is the

 "Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, 
 said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? But Jesus 
 knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, 
 said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble? b What 
 then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where 
 he was before? It c is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh 
 profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you 
 are spirit, and are life. But there are some of you that 
 believe not. "For Jesus knew from the beginning who 
 they were that believed not, and who it was that should 
 betray him. And he said, For this cause have I said unto 
 yon, that no man can come unto me, except it be given 
 unto him of the Father. 
 
 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked 
 no more with him. Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, 
 Would ye also go away? Simon Peter answered him, 
 Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast 'the words of 
 eternal life. •''And we have believed and know that thou 
 art the Holy One of God. Jesus answered them, "Did 
 not I choose you the twelve, and ''one of you is a devil? 
 Now he spake of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for he 
 it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

 worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and 
 I will pay thee all. And the lord of that servant, being 
 moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him 
 the debt [Marg., Gr., "loan"]. But that servant went out, 
 and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a 
 
 hundred "shillings [Marg., about eight pence half-penny] : and he 
 
 laid hold on him, and took Mm by the throat, saying, 
 Pay what thou owest. So his fellow-servant fell down 
 and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I 
 will pay thee. And he would not: but went and cast him 
 into prison, till he should pay that which was due. So 
 when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were 
 exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all 
 that was done. Then his lord called him unto him, and 
 saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that

 The Jews, therefore, sought him at the feast, and said, 
 Where is he? And there was much murmuring among 
 the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good 
 man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude 
 astray. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of 
 the Jews. 
 
 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went 
 up into the temple, and taught. The Jews therefore 
 marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having 
 never learned? Jesus therefore answered them, and said, 
 "My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. If any 
 man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, 
 whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. He 
 that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he 
 that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is 
 true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses 
 give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law?

 Why seek ye to kill me? The multitude answered, 'Thou 
 hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee? Jesus answered 
 and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel 
 because thereof. 'Moses hath given you circumcision (not 
 that it is of Mo3es, but "of the fathers) ; and on the sab- 
 bath ye circumcise a man. If a man receiveth circum- 
 cision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be 
 broken; are ye wroth with me, "because I made a man 
 every whit whole on the sabbath? -'Judge not according 
 to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 
 
 Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this 
 he whom they seek to kill? And lo, he speaketh openly, 
 and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers 
 indeed know that this is the Christ? "Howbeit we know 
 this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no 
 one knoweth whence he is. Jesus therefore cried in the 
 temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know 
 whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that 
 sent me is true, whom ye know not. I know him; because 
 I am from him, and he sent me. They sought therefore 
 to take him; and no man laid his hand on him, because 
 his hour was not yet come. But of the multitude many 
 believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall 
 come, will he do more signs than those which this man 
 hath done? The Pharisees heard the multitude murmur- 
 ing those things concerning him; and the chief priests 
 and the Pharisees sent officers to take him. Jesus there- 
 fore said, ''Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto 
 
 h John 8:48, 52 (§ 83), " The Jews . . said, . Say we not well that

 make you free. They answered unto him, «We are Abra-

 him, How then were thine eyes opened? He answered, 
 The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed 
 mine eyes, and said unto mo, Go to Siloam, and wash: so 
 I went away and washed, and I received sight. And they 
 said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not. 
 
 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was

 made the clay, and opened his eyes. Again therefore the 
 Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he 
 said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, 
 and do see. Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This 
 man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. 
 But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such 
 signs? And there was a division among them. They say 
 therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of 
 him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, "He is a 
 prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe concerning 
 him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, 
 until they called the parents of him that had received his 
 sight, and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye 
 say was born blind? how then doth he now sec? His 
 parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, 
 and that he was born blind: but how he now seeth, we 
 know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; 
 he is of age; he shall speak for himself. These things 
 said his parents, because ''they feared the Jews: for the 
 Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess

 know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, 
 now I see. They said therefore unto him, What did he to 
 thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, 
 I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore 
 would ye hear it again? Would ye also become his dis- 
 ciples? And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his 
 disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that 
 God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we 
 know not whence he is. The man answered and said unto 
 them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence 
 he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 'We know that God 
 hearcth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of 
 God, and do his will, him he heareth. Since the world 
 began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of 
 a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he 
 could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, 
 Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? 
 And they cast him out. 
 
 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding 
 him, he said, Dost thou believe on the 'Son of God? He 
 answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may 
 believe on him? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both 
 seen him, and "he it is that speaketh with thee. And he 
 said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And 
 Jesus said, "For judgment came I into this world, that

 become blind. Those of the Pharisees that were with him

 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that entereth not by

 entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To

 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before 
 them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 
 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from 
 him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This 
 parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not 
 what things they were which he spake unto them. 
 
 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, I am the 'door of the sheep. All that came 
 before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not 
 hear them. I am the door: by mo if any man enter in, 
 he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall

 Now there were some present at that very season who 
 told him of the Galilseans, whose blood Pilate had mingled 
 with their sacrifices. And he answered and said unto 
 them, Think ye that these Galilseans were sinners above 
 all the Galilseans, because they have suffered these things ? 
 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like

 cumber the ground? And he answering saith unto him, 
 Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it,

 not, thou shalt cut it down. 
 
 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the 
 sabbath day. And behold, a woman who had a spirit of 
 infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and 
 could in no wise lift herself up. And when Jesus saw her, 
 he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from 
 thine infirmity. And he laid his hands upon her: and im- 
 mediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And 
 the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation 
 because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and 
 said to the multitude, 'There are six days in which men 
 ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, 
 and not 'on the day of the sabbath. But the Lord 
 answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one 
 of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the 
 stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not 
 this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan 
 had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed 
 from this bond on the day of the sabbath? And as he 
 said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame:

 Many good works have I shewed you from the Father; 
 for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews 
 answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for 
 blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, "makest 
 thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in

 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of 
 one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat 
 bread, that they were watching him. And behold, there 
 was before him a certain man who had the dropsy. And 
 Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, 
 saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? But 
 they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, 
 and let him go. And he said unto them, Which of you 
 shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not 
 straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? And they 
 could not answer again unto these things. 
 
 And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, 
 when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; 
 saying unto them, 'When thou art bidden of any man to a 
 marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply 
 a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him, and 
 he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give

 take the lowest place. But when thou art bidden, go and

 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When 
 thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor 
 thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest 
 haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made 
 thee. But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the 
 maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed;be—

 thou shalt bo recompensed in the resurrection of the just. 
 
 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard 
 these things, he said unto him, ''Blessed is he that shall 
 eat bread in the kingdom of God. But he said unto him, 
 'A certain man made a great sup2:>cr: and he bade many:

 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The 
 first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must

 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I 
 go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And

 not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have 
 wherewith to complete it? Lest haply, when he hath laid 
 a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold 
 begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and 
 was not able to finish. Or what king, as he goeth to 
 encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and 
 take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet

 And he said, A certain man had two sons: and the

 And he divided unto them his living. . And not many days 
 after the younger son gathered all together, and took his 
 journey into a far country; and there he wasted his sub- 
 stance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, 
 there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began 
 to be in want. And he went and joined himself to one of 
 the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his 
 fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his 
 
 belly with the husks [Marg., Gr., "the pods of the carob tree"] 
 
 that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. But 
 when he came to himself he said, How many hired serv-

 perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, 
 and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against

 to be merry. Now his elder son was in the field: and as 
 he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and 
 dancing. And he called to him one of the servants, and 
 inquired what these things might be. And he said unto 
 him, Thy brother has come; and thy father hath killed the 
 fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 
 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father 
 came out, and intreated him. But he answered and said 
 to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I 
 never transgressed a commandment of thine: and yetthou 
 never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my 
 friends: but when this thy son came, who hath devoured 
 thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted 
 calf. And he said unto him, Son [iiarg., Gr., "child"], thou 
 art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. But it

 beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when 
 I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into

 John 11:1-54. 
 
 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of 
 the village of "Mary and her sister Martha. And it was 
 Hhat Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and 
 wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was 
 sick. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, 
 behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. But when Jesus 
 hoard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but c for 
 the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified 
 thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and 
 Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he 
 abode at that time two days in the place where he was. 
 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into 
 Judsea again. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the 
 Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou 
 thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve 
 hours in the day? ''If a man walk in the day, he stum- 
 bleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But 
 if a man 'walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the 
 light is not in him. These things spake he: and after

 this lie saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen 
 •'asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 
 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen 
 asleep, he will recover. Now Jesus had spoken of his 
 death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in 
 sleep. Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, 
 Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was 
 not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let 
 us go unto him. Thomas therefore, who is called Didy- 
 mus [Marg., that is, "Twin"], said unto his fellow-disciples, 
 Let us go, that we may die with him. 
 
 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the 
 tomb four days already. Now Bethany was nigh unto 
 Jerusalem, about 'fifteen furlongs off; and many of the 
 Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them con- 
 cerning their brother. Martha therefore, when she heard 
 that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still 
 sat in the house. Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, 
 if thou hadsfc been here, my brother had not died. And 
 even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, 
 God will give thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother 
 shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he 
 shall rise again "in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus 
 said unto her, 'I am the resurrection, and 'the life: he that 
 believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live: and 
 whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. 
 Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I

 even he that cometh into the world. And when she had 
 said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister 
 secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee. 
 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto 
 him. (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but 
 was still in the place where Martha met him.) The Jews 
 then who were with her in the house, and were comforting 
 her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and 
 went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto 
 the tomb to weep there. Mary therefore, when she came 
 where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, say- 
 ing unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother 
 had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, 
 and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned 
 in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, Where have ye 
 laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. 
 '"Jesus wept. The Jews therefore said, Behold how he 
 loved him! But some of them said, Could not this man, 
 who opened the eyes of him "that was blind, have caused 
 that this man also should not die? Jesus therefore again 
 groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb. Now it was a 
 cave, and a stone lay against [A^arg., or, ''upon"] it. Jesus 
 saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him 
 that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he 
 stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith 
 unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, 
 thou shouldest see "the glory of God ? So they took away 
 the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, 
 I thank thee that thou heardest me. And I knew that

 which standeth around I said it, that they may believe 
 that thou didst send me. And when he had thus spoken, 
 he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. He that 
 was dead ' came forth, bound hand and foot with grave- 
 clothes; and his face was bound about with ! 'a napkin. 
 Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 
 
 'Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and 
 beheld that which he did, believed on him. But some of 
 them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things 
 which Jesus had done. 
 
 'The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered 
 a council, and said, 'What do wc? for this man doeth 
 many signs. If we let him thus alone, all men will 
 believe on him: and the Eomans will come and take away 
 both our place and our nation. But a certain one of 
 them, 'Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto 
 them, Ye know nothing at all, nor do ye take account that 
 it is expedient for you that one man should die for the 
 people, and that the whole nation perish not. Now this 
 he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he 
 prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; and "not 
 for the nation only, but that he might also "gather together 
 into one the children of God that are scattered abroad. 
 So from that day forth they took counsel that they might 
 put him to death.

 §111. Parable of the Ten Pounds. 
 
 Near Jerusalem. {No. 67.) 
 
 Some good authorities deem this parable to be the same as that of the 
 talents recorded in Matt. 25:14-30 (§127). 
 
 Luke 19:11-28. 
 
 And as they beard these things, he added and spake a 
 parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because 
 they supposed that "the kingdom of God was immediately 
 to appear. Ho said therefore, 4 A certain nobleman went 
 into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and 
 to return. And he called ten servants of his, and gave 
 
 them ton pounds [Marg. Mina, here translated a pound, is equal to 
 
 one hundred drachmas], and said unto them, Trade ye herewith 
 till I come. But 'his citizens hated him, and sent an 
 ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man 
 reign over us. And it came to pass, when he was come back 
 again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded 
 these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be 
 called to him, that he might know what they had gained 
 by trading. And the first came before him, saying, Lord, 
 thy pound hath made ten pounds more. And he said unto 
 him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast 
 ''found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over 
 ten cities. And the second came, saying, Thy pound, 
 Lord, hath made five pounds. And he said unto him also, 
 Be thou also over five cities. And another came, saying, 
 
 a Acts 1:6 [After his resurrection, and the disciples asked him], "Lord, 
 dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto 
 them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath 
 set within his own authority." 
 
 ft Mark 13:34 (§ 126c), ''.ft is as when a man, sojourning in another country, 
 having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his 
 work, commanded also the porter to watch. 11

 his own received him not.' 1

 ard], *' lie that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. 11 
 
§111, §112] JESUS ARRIVES AT BETHANY. 245 
 
 Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in 
 a napkin: for I feared thee, because thou art an austere 
 man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and 
 reapest that thou didst not sow. He saith unto him, ''Out 
 of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked serv- 
 ant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up 
 that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow; then 
 wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I 
 at my coming should have required it with interest? And 
 he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the 
 pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. 
 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. I say 
 unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; 
 but from him that hath not, even that which he hath 
 shall be taken away from him. Howbeit these mine ene- 
 mies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring 
 hither, and slay them before me. 
 
 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, 
 going up to Jerusalem.

 Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the 
 temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the 
 feast? Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given 
 commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he 
 should shew it, that they might take him. Jesus there- 
 fore six days before the passover came to Bethany, c where 
 Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. 
 
 'Now when Jesus ['And while he] ' 'was rf in Bethany, in 
 the house of Simon the leper [ 4 So] 'they made him a sup-

 was filled with the odour of the ointment. ' 'But 'when 
 the disciples saw it, they ['there were some that] ' 'had indig- 
 nation 'among themselves, ' 'saying, To what purpose 'hath 
 ['is] ''this waste 'of the ointment been made? [ 4 But] 
 4 Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who should betray him, 
 saith, Why was not ["For] '' 4 this ointment ["might have 
 been] sold for 'above "three hundred "shillings ['much], 
 ' ' "and given to the poor. 4 Now this he said, not because 
 he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and

 *The common people therefore of the Jews learned 
 that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake 
 only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had 
 raised from the dead. But the chief priests took counsel

 by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and be- 
 lieved on Jesus.

 Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents : lo, I have 
 gained other five talents. His lord said unto him, Well 
 done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful 
 over a few things, '"I will set thee over many things:

 received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou de-

 two talents. His lord said unto him, "Well done, good

 few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou

 the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou 
 art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and 
 gathering where thou didst not scatter: and I was afraid, 
 and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: -lo, thou 
 hast thine own. But his lord answered and said unto him, 
 Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I 
 reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; 
 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the 
 bankers, and at my coming I should have received back 
 mine own with interest. Take ye away therefore the 
 talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten. 
 talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and 
 he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not,

 ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness:

 it for that rr.an if he had not been born. /4 There was at 
 the table redlining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, 
 whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beokoneth to 
 him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he 
 speaketh. He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast 
 saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus therefore answer- 
 eth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it 
 him. So Vt'hen he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giv- 
 eth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 'And Judas, 
 who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He 
 saith unto him, Thou hast said. 
 
 ■"'And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus 
 therefore saith unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 
 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake 
 this unto him. For some thought, 'because Judas had 
 the bag [aiarg or, "box"], that Jesus said unto him, Buy 
 what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he 
 should give something to the poor. He then having 
 received the sop went out straightway: and it was night. 
 
 4 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is 
 the Son of man glorified, and 'God is glorified in him; and 
 God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he 
 glorify him. Little children, yet a little while I am with 
 you. Ye shall seek me: *and as I said unto the Jews,

 But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man 
 were a Galilaean. And when he knew that he was of 
 Herod's "jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who him- 
 self also was at Jerusalem in these days. 
 
 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for 
 he was of a long time desirous to see him, because J he had 
 heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle 
 done by him. And he questioned him in many words; 
 but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and 
 the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. And Herod 
 with his soldiers "set him at nought, and mocked him, 
 and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to 
 Pilate. rf And Herod and Pilate became friends with each 
 other that very day: for before they were at enmity 
 between themselves. 
 
 And Pilate called together the chief priests and the 
 rulers and the people, and said unto them, °Ye brought 
 unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people : and 
 behold, I, having examined him before you, ■''found no

 insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed 
 murder. "When therefore they were gathered together,

 them, saying ['said unto them "But], 4 Ye have a custom, that 
 
 I should release unto you one at the passover: 'Whom will 
 ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is

 [ 2 Barabbas] 2 unto them: 'and destroy Jesus. [ 3 But] 3 They 
 cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and 
 
 release Unto US Barabbas [ 3 (on6 who for a certain insurrection 
 made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison)]. And Pilate 
 
 spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus ['But the 
 
 governor answered and said unto them], 'Whether of the twain 
 
 will ye that I release unto you? 'They cried out therefore 
 again, saying, Not this man, but ['And they said] ' 'Barab- 
 bas [( 1 Now Barabbas was ». robber)]. "And * 2 Pilate 2 again an- 
 swered and said ['saith] ' 2 unto them, What then shall I 
 do unto 'Jesus [ 2 him], who is called Christ? 2 whom ye call 
 the King of the Jews? 3 But ' 3 they 'all [ 2 And they] 2 cried 
 out ['say] again, B and 'shouted, saying, Crucify, 2 3 crucify 
 him. 'Let him be crucified. "And Pilate [ 3 And he] 2 3 said 
 unto them ['And he said] 3 the third time, ' "Why, what evil 
 hath 3 this man [ 12 ne]' 23 done? 3 I have found no cause of 
 death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release

 him. 'Let him be crucified. 6 And [ 3 But] 3 they were 
 urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. 
 And their voices prevailed. 
 
 'So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but 
 rather that a tumult was arising, he 'took water, and 
 washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am inno-

 the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate

 Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime 
 in him. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by 
 that law he ought to die, because rf he made himself the 
 Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he 
 was the more afraid; and he entered into the Prfetorium 
 again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? "But Jesus 
 gave him no answer. Pilate therefore saith unto him,

 power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?

 The Jews therefore, because it was the "Preparation, 
 that ''the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the 
 sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), 
 asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that 
 they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came, 
 and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was 
 crucified with him: but when they came to Jesus, and saw 
 that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: howbeit 
 one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and 
 straightway there "came out blood and water. And he 
 that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: 
 and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may 
 believe. For these things came to pass, that the ''scripture 
 might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be 
 broken. And again another scripture saith, 'They 
 shall look on him whom they pierced.

 not. And he said unto them, foolish men, and slow of 
 heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 
 ^Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to 
 enter into his glory? And beginning from 'Moses and 
 from '"all the prophets, he interpreted to. them in all the 
 scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew 
 nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he 
 made as though he would go further. "And they con- 
 strained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward even- 
 ing, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide 
 with them. And it came to pass, when he had sat down 
 with them to meat, "he took the bread, and blessed; and 
 breaking it he gave to them. And their eyes were opened, 
 and they knew him: and he ''vanished out of their sight.

 unto them, Why are ye troubled? And wherefore do

 into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little 
 boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two 
 hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fishes. So 
 when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals 
 there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto 
 them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken. Simon 
 Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of 
 great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all 
 there were so many, the net was not rent. Jesus saith 
 unto them, 'Come and break your fast. And none of the 
 disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou, knowing 
 that it was the Lord. Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, 
 and giveth them, and the fish likewise. This is now the

 love to man, or man's love to God; while the second one, shown by the +, 
 <£iAe'a>, implies a warmth of feeling between friends. To Christ's first two 
 questions, Peter, now since his denials, profoundly sensible of his own 
 weakness, could not venture to promise the high spiritual love called for 
 by and due to his divine Master, but could only give assurance of his own 
 fervent personal affection. On asking the question the third time, Christ 
 graciously adopts the word employed by Peter, and now speaks to him 
 again as a friend.— Cf. Dr. Roberts, of the English Revision Committee.]

 THE END. 
 
A BEIEF HISTORY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 Translations of the English Bible; 
 
 ALSO, 
 
 AN ACCOUNT OF THE SEPTUAGINT AND VULGATE. 
 
 The Bible was written in the languages which were 
 spoken by the people for whom its different parts were 
 originally prepared. 
 
 The Old Testament was given in Hebrew (except a 
 small portion, viz.: a few words of Gen. 31:47 and Jer. 
 10:11, and of Ezra 4:8 to 6:18 and 7:12-26, and of Dan. 
 2.4 to 7:28, which was in the cognate dialect, Chaldaic), 
 and the New Testament was given in Greek. It is a 
 remarkable fact that both the Hebrew and the Greek 
 became in turn practically dead languages very soon after 
 the completion of each scripture canon, the former giving 
 way to the latter as the result of the conquest of Alex- 
 ander, and the latter yielding to the Latin when the 
 supremacy of the Romans had become general. Thus 
 these languages became, as it were, sealed up, and their 
 words no longer subject to the changes incident to all 
 living languages. 
 
 The Septuagixt {seventy). — This the most important 
 of the ancient versions of the Old Testament Scriptures, 
 is supposed to have been made at Alexandria about 285 B. 0., 
 by order of Ptolemy Philadelphus. Most of the books 
 of the Old Testament are known to us by the Greek names

 first used in this translation; thus, Genesis means begin- 
 ning; Exodus, departure (from Egypt); Deuteronomy, the 
 second (giving of) the law, etc. Some portions of this 
 version, noticeably the five books of Moses, are said to be 
 much more accurate than others, thus showing different 
 grades of scholarship. This was the version in common 
 use at the time of Christ, and both he and the apostles 
 freely quoted from it, and this is the chief reason that the 
 Old Testament quotations, which we find in the New 
 Testament so often differ from the words as found in the 
 Old Testament itself. 
 
 The Vulgate. — The received Latin version of the 
 Bible. It was completed by Jerome in 405 A.D. He 
 drew largely upon the Septuagint, and also upon somewhat 
 imperfect original MSS., and did much of his work hur- 
 riedly, so that his version contains many errors, as he 
 himself admitted. The Clementine edition of this ver- 
 sion is the present standard of the Eomish church. 
 
 But notwithstanding their errors, the Vulgate and the 
 Septuagint are very important versions, and highly prized 
 by all Biblical scholars. 
 
 During the Dark Ages, for a period of nearly one thou- 
 sand years, the Bible in the native tongue of the people 
 was practically a closed book, and remained so until the 
 days of the great John Wycliffe in the fourteenth century. 
 During this dark time a few straggling rays of Biblical 
 light were here and there seen, as when in the seventh 
 century, Casdmon translated the Psalms into English 
 poetry, and in the eighth century the venerable Bede 
 translated some of the Gospels into English prose, and in 
 the tenth century King Alfred translated a small portion 
 of the New Testament. 
 
 "Wyclippe's Translation. — To the learned and cour- 
 ageous John Wycliffe, however, belongs the great honor of 
 having made the first translation of the whole Bible into 
 English. He commenced his labors in 1375, and finished 
 
TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE. 361 
 
 the New Testament in 1380, and the Old Testament in 
 1384, the last date being just one hundred years before the 
 birth of Luther. The heroic life of Wycliffe is thrillingly 
 interesting and ought to be familiar to all. The study of 
 his life and times will cause the Christian to appreciate as 
 never before the inestimable value of the Holy Scriptures 
 in his own tongue. At that time the printing press was 
 unknown, and every copy of the Bible had to be made by 
 hand. So anxious were the people to obtain the word of 
 God that they often gave a load of hay for a few chapters 
 of St. James or St. Paul. Some gave the savings of years 
 for the same object. Men even gave 840 to $50 for a little 
 tract of Wycliffo's, containing scripture texts. It then 
 required nearly three years to make a copy of the whole 
 Bible, at a cost of about $1,500.* 
 
 We now come down about one hundred and fifty years 
 to the second great period in the history of the English 
 Bible, viz.: that of the martyr, 
 
 William Tyndale. — Between the time of Wycliffe 
 and Tyndale the art of printing had been invented, thus 
 enabling the latter to print the larger part of his version 
 which he completed in 1530. From the time of the print- 
 ing of Tyndale's New Testament in 1525 till 1611, when 
 King James' version appeared, no less than seven different 
 translations and revisions of the English Bible were issued, 
 but nearly all of them had Tyndale's version as their prin- 
 cipal model and basis. Of the Protestant versions the 
 most important ones were Matthews', Coverdale's, Cran- 
 mer's or the Great Bible, Genevan, Bishops', and King 
 James'. The Roman Catholics translated the New Testa- 
 ment at Rheims in 1452, and the Old Testament at Douay 
 in 1609, both from the Latin Ynlgate. Cranmer's, or the 
 Great Bible, already mentioned, was issued in 1541, and 
 
 *The American Bible Society, Bible House, Astor Place, New York city, 
 now furnish the entire Bible, C. V., in cloth, Agate ed., for 25 cents, and the 
 New Testament for 5 cents.

 was the first authorized version of the English Bible. The 
 Psalms of this version are still retained in the book of 
 Common Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 
 
 The Genevan Version, so-called from its place of issue, 
 was completed in 1560 under the leadership of John Cal- 
 vin. It was very popular, and continued to be printed 
 long after the first appearance of King James' version. 
 Indeed, as late as 1649., thirty-eight years after the latter 
 version was first issued, we find that popular favor was 
 sought for it by its being printed with the Geneva notes. 
 The Genevan version was the first one to use the divisions 
 of chapter and verse. 
 
 The King James Version, the C. V. of our day, was 
 first issued in 1611. It was not a new translation, but a 
 revision of former translations, the principal model and 
 basis of which, as previously stated, was Tyndale's version. 
 But upon the whole it surpassed all its predecessors, and 
 is probably the best version ever made for public use. 
 " It reveals," says a member of the American Kevision 
 Committee, "an easy mastery of the rich resources of the 
 English language, and blends with singular felicity Saxon 
 force and Latin melody. Even its prose reads like poetry, 
 and sounds like music. Its best recommendation is its 
 universal adoption and use in every Protestant church and 
 household that speaks the English tongue. It has admir- 
 ably served its purpose for more than two hundred and 
 fifty years, and is so interwoven with English and Ameri- 
 can literature that it can never be entirely superseded. 
 Next to Christianity itself, the version of 1611 is the 
 greatest boon which a kind Providence has bestowed upon 
 the English race. 
 
 "But with all its acknowledged excellencies, it is the 
 product of imperfect men, and has innumerable minor 
 errors and defects. This has long since been felt by those 
 who know it best and love it most. It may be greatly 
 improved without sacrificing any of its merits. The 
 
TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE. 3G3 
 
 translators had sound principles, except that of* unneces- 
 sary variations in renderings, and they made the best use 
 of their resources. But the resources of the seventeenth 
 century were limited; Biblical philology, geography, and 
 archaeology were yet in their infancy, and comparative 
 philology and textual criticism were not yet born. Since 
 that time Biblical scholarship in all its bi'anches has made 
 vast progress, especially within the last fifty years. The 
 Greek and Hebrew languages, with all their cognate dia- 
 lects, are better known now than ever before. The oldest 
 and best uncial manuscripts of the Greek Testament have 
 recently been discovered and thoroughly examined, to- 
 gether with the ancient versions and patristic quotations." 
 
 Many individual revisions of the Bible have been made 
 since 1611, one by John Wesley, among others, but no 
 organized effort in that direction until 1850, when the 
 
 American Bible Union was formed. After sixteen 
 years' labor, that society, in 1866, put forth its version of 
 the New Testament, on which they had had the work of 
 able scholars from several denominations. In this version 
 the word "baptizo" was uniformly translated "immerse." 
 This society also translated portions of the Old Testament, 
 having completed the books of Genesis, Judges, Euth, 
 Job, Psalms, and Proverbs. Their editions of Genesis 
 and Psalms have had extensive circulation. 
 
 The invaluable 0. T. library, probably the most exten- 
 sive one in America, which was collected by this society, 
 is now in Morgan Park Theological seminary, near Chi- 
 cago, the site of the flourishing Institute of Hebrew. 
 
 ♦Numerous illustrations from the C. V. of the result of this unsound 
 principle can be given, but a few must suffice. In speaking of the extent 
 of the darkuess that occurred at the crucifixion, the same Greek word is 
 translated in Matt. (27:45) and in Mark (15:33) as over the "land" and in Luke 
 (23:14) as over the "earth." The new version correctly renders the word 
 "land " in all three Gospels, with margin, "or earth." 
 
 Agai a in Matt. (25:46) the C. V. is "And these shall go away into everlast- 
 ing punishment; but the righteous into life eternal." The corrected reading 
 is "iDto eternal punishment": and "into eternal life." 
 
 Again, in Matt. (26:41) in the C. V., are the words "the spirit indeed is 
 willing, but the flesh is weak," while in Mark (14:38) the same original is 
 rendered, "the spirit truly is ready," etc. The new version makes Mark 
 read the same as Matthew did. Kee note, page xxii. 
 
364 TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE. 
 
 The labors of this society added impetus to the move- 
 ment, which culminated in England, May 6, 1870, in the 
 appointment of a commission to undertake what is now 
 known as the 
 
 Anglo-American Revision — About eighty of the most 
 distinguished Biblical scholars of England and America, 
 representing all the leading Protestant denominations, 
 have been engaged upon the work. In the spring of 
 1881, the New Testament committee, at the end of ten 
 years' toil, completed their allotted task; and it is ex- 
 pected that the Old Testament committee will announce 
 the completion of their labors during the year 1885. The 
 revised New Testament has already been received into 
 quite general favor among Bible students, and has not 
 met with more opposition or adverse criticism than was 
 anticipated; and this opposition will diminish as the im- 
 portant truth secures acknowledgment that the acceptance 
 or rejection of a reading is not a matter of individual 
 preference, but one of fidelity to the original. 
 
 In conclusion, attention is drawn to the fact that the 
 new version will probably not be expected, for many years 
 to come, to supersede the common version, but rather to 
 supplement it, somewhat in the nature of a commentary; 
 and if it shall have won for itself a general acceptance 
 among the people, within the first twenty years of its 
 existence, it will have done very much better than did 
 its great predecessor. • 
 
 To such as fear that the knowledge of the existence of 
 different readings may have a tendency to undermine the 
 faith of any in the authenticity of the Scriptures, it may 
 be stated that never, in the history of Christianity, was 
 there a more ardent and devout study of the Bible than 
 during the period just following the translation by Tyn- 
 dale, in 1530, when there were four or five different 
 versions in the hands of the people.

EXPLANATION OF MAP AND DIAGRAMS. 
 
 Off the page opposite the ■*" Map of the Pathways of 
 Jesus " is presented a list of the " Principal Places Vis- 
 ited" by our Lord, beginning at Bethlehem, where he was 
 born, and ending at Bethany, the place of his ascension ; 
 and these are given in chronological order, as shown by the 
 numbers in the left-hand columns.* The corresponding 
 numbers on the lines of the map and the diagrams, with 
 the arrows, indicate at what town or country each journey 
 terminated. Thus : line No. 2 shows that he went from 
 Bethlehem to Jerusalem ; line No. 3, that he went from 
 Jerusalem to Bethlehem ; line No. 4, that he went from 
 Bethlehem to Egypt, etc. Several of the short journeys, 
 mainly those about Capernaum and Jerusalem, could not 
 conveniently be shown on the map, though indicated in 
 the list. Omitted lines are such as would correspond to 
 Nos. 11, 22, 23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 34-, 35, 41, 42, 47, 55, 
 56, 57, 58, 65, 67, and 68. Lines Nos. 69 to 85 inclusive 
 are shown on the diagrams. None of his appearances 
 after his resurrection are indicated on the map, except 87 
 Emmaus. Only in a few instances is the exact route 
 pursued by our Saviour in going from place to place known; 
 hence the lines on the map and diagrams are conjectural, 
 except as to their general course and termination. 
 
 The letter and figure following each name in the list 
 indicate the space on the map where the place will be 
 found ; thus, Jerusalem (G 2) is in the space where G 
 from the sides of the map meets 2 from the top and 
 bottom. 
 
 The " Diagrams illustrating the Principal Events of 
 Crucifixion Week " will be found on the page following 
 the list of the " Principal Places Visited." 
 
 See " Summary of the Principal Events in the Last 
 Forty-Eight Days of our Lord's life on Earth," on page 248. 
 
 ♦ There are also numbers in the headings of the different sections of the book 
 which correspond to these numbers. See § 8, page 38, and § 10, page 43, for No. 1 ; 
 and § 11, page 44, for No. 2; and § 12, page 47, for No. 3, etc. See also " Expla- 
 nation of Text," page xxii.
