"Take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." Eph. e:17. "I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible.'' D. L. Moody. This volume is issued as an aid to the study of the life of Jesns. 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, Eobinson, Strong, Clark and Gardiner, which is based upon the view Tl 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 Robinson 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," 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 PKEFAC E. ' Vll 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 J)r. Henson. There is much of instruction, and of suggestion of deep truths presented in its pages. J. P. C. II^TEODUOTIOW. When we sing as we are accustomed to do, " God id 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 teachoth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, co?nparmg spiritual things loilli 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 yon 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. Four pictures have we here of the matchless Man of Naza reth, — four pictures, and ail 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 aliice, for all of them are pictures of Him. The pictures, of course, must be unlilce, for each of the portrait painters had his own peculiar point of INTBODUCTION. 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."

Sect. 11 23-25 134 16 5a 167 56 168 6 171 7 172a 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 ' " and ¦* indicate the Gospel from which the portions following them are taken, ' indicating Mark, ^ Luke and ' John. The figure ' indicates that the words following it are not found in any of the four Gospels, but 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 3d, 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 ""* 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 narratives, 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 the incorrect principle of diversity in renderings was a characteristic. See 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, follo'W the words "forbid them not" instead of preceding them as is the case in Mark and Luke. xxii EXPLANATION OF TEXT. XXHl only indicate from where the words in the small type are taken, the text proper not being influenced by them. EXAMPLE. §105. Christ Blessing Little Children. Pet-en, {M>. 64). {Ooing South.) Matt. 19:13-15. Mark 10:1:1-16. Luke 18:15-17. " 'ANDthey were bringing ['Then were there brought] ' ' 'unto him ' 'little children ['also their babes],' "that he should 'lay his hands on them, [' ^touch them] and pray, 'but when [' Vd] ' " 'the disciples 'saw it, they ' ' 'rebuked them. But 'when ' ¦ 'Jesus 'saw it, he was moved with indignation, and 'called them unto him, *and ' "said 'unto them ['saying], ' ' 'Suffer the little children ' 'to come unto me, ' 'and ' ' 'for bid them not: ['to come unto me:] for to such belongeth the kingdom of ' 'God ['heaven, j 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 ' ' 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 ' ' ' next following, indicate that the words "unto him" are taken from Matthew, Mark and Luke; and the figures ' ' before " little," indicate that the words " little children " are taken from Matthew and Mark; while the brackets, small type and figure ' indicate that the words "also their babes" are taken from Luke, but are not incorporated in the text.

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 he will receive into his mind in a clear and coherent form every thought that is found in the four separate accounts. SUPPLEMENT TO THE FOUETH 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 tvliich 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 /owr separate readings and mutual comparisons.

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 ied, 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.

FROM THE FEAST OF TABEENACLES TILL CHRIST'S FINAL ARRIVAL AT BETHANY. Time — About Six Months. §81. Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles. Jerusalem, Autumn, A.D. 29. (Xo. 54.) John 7:11-53. 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 hian; 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 lohether I speak from myself. Hu that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but lie that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

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 Moses, 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. Sorae 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?

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?

If he called them gods, 'unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), say ye of him, *whom the Father sanc tified [Marg., or ¦¦consecrated"] and Sent iuto the World, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. But when Jesus heard it, he said. This sickness is not unto death, but "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 Judaea again. The disciples say unto him. Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? Jesus answered.

THE END. A BEIEF HISTOET Translations of the English Bible ; 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 Eomans 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 Septuagint [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. C. , by order of Ptolemy Philadelphus. Most of the books of the Old Testament are known to us by the Greek names 359 360 TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE. first used in this translation; thus. Genesis means begin ning; Exodus, departure (from Egypt); Deuteronomj-, 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 Romish 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, Csedmon 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. Wycliffe'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. Mon even gave $40 to $50 for a little tract of Wycliffe'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. Prom 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 Vulgate. 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. 362 TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE. 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 Revision 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. 363 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 archseology were yet in their infancy, and comparative philology and textual criticism were not yet born. Since that time Biblical scholarship in all its branches 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, Rath, 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 frora the C. V. of the result of this unsound principle can be given, but a few must suifice. 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 (16:33) as over the "land," and in Luke (33:14) as over the '"earth." The new ver.-ion correctly renders the word " land " in all three Gospels, with margin, " or earth." Agaiii in Matt. (33:46) the C. V. is "And these shall go away into everlast ing p jn'ishment; but the righteous into life eternal" The corrected reading is "into cfeinaipuni.'shment"; aud " into ete»'?ial life." A:faiii. in Matt. (26:41) in the C. V., are the words "the spirit indeed is williu-.', but the flesh is weak," while in Murk (14:38) the sarae original is reudoied, "the spirit truly is ready," etc. The new version makes Mark read llie sarae as Matthew did. See 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 OP MAP AND DIAGRAMS. On 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, 2-2, 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 o.l" 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 § 1], page44, for No 3; and § 12, page 47, for No. .3, etc. See also " Expla nation of Text," page xxii. PRINCIPAL PLACES VISITED. No. Loca tion.
