PREFACE

THE purpose of this volume is to place before the general reader a continuous story of the life of the Christ. It is an interweaving of the four gospels to make a complete and unbroken narrative of the most influential events in the world's history. The text used is that of The Twentieth Century New Testament. A translation into modern English made from the original Greek (Westcott and Hort's Text) by a company of about twenty scholars representing the various sections of the Christian Church. For the principles upon which this translation was made see the Preface to The Twentieth Century New Testament in pages following.

These chapters tell their own story-no words are added to connect up the different narratives. Where there is more than one account of the same words or events, that which seemed the most graphic, and best to give the story, has been chosen. Sometimes where the meaning could not be well, or wholly, expressed by one gospel account two or more follow each other, but this is rare.

To tell the whole story of the Christ's life, so far as it has been recorded by the four evangelists, and to tell it in the most interesting way, with a due regard for all the points of scholarship involved, has been the aim kept constantly in view.

For the convenience of the general reader this story is divided into nine natural divisions, or sections:

1. Preparation, Childhood and Youth of Jesus Christ. 2. The Beginning of His Work.

3. His Early Work in Judaea.

4. The First Period of His Work in Galilee.

5. The Second Period of His Work in Galilee.

6. The Third Period of His Work in Galilee.

7. His Work in Perea.

8. Passion Week.

9. The Risen Life.
