Birth and Preparation of Jesus Christ II. Message and Ministry of Jesus Christ III. Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ Introduction All four books in the Bible that tell the story of Jesus Christ—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—stand alone, emphasizing a unique aspect of Jesus’ life. But when these are blended into one complete account, or harmonized, we gain new insights about the life of Christ. This harmony combines the four Gospels into a single chronological account of Christ’s life on earth. It includes every chapter and verse of each Gospel, leaving nothing out. The harmony is divided into 250 events. The title of each event is identical to the title found in the corresponding Gospel. Parallel passages found in more than one Gospel have identical titles, helping you to identify them quickly. Each of the 250 events in the harmony is numbered. The number of the event corresponds to the number next to the title in the Bible text. When reading one of the Gospel accounts, you will notice, at times, that some numbers are missing or out of sequence. The easiest way to locate these events is to refer to the harmony. In addition, if you are looking for a particular event in the life of Christ, the harmony can help you locate it more rapidly than paging through all four Gospels. Each of the 250 events has a distinctive title keyed to the main emphasis of the passage to help you locate and remember the events. This harmony will help you to better visualize the travels of Jesus, study the four Gospels comparatively, and appreciate the unity of their message. ======================================================================== CHAPTER 2: 1.
