WHY THIS NARRATIVE OF THE HOLY GOSPELS?

The Holy Gospels in One is a “Word for Word” narrative of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, combined into a single chronological account.  In order to capture all the events concerning the ascension of Christ, a section of Acts chapter one has been added to the end.

This narrative was compiled using a direct analytical translation of each Greek word from the 1550 Stephanus Textus Receptus. To ensure an accurate translation, the 1769 King James Authorized Version was the main source of cross reference. All words that are not in the original Greek manuscripts, but were deemed necessary for readability were italicized.

The intent of Holy Gospels in One is to dispel the “so-called” contradictory passages through an accurate chronological recording of the events and words. This is not to replace the Gospels but to be a mere study aid for the avid Bible student, who flips back and forth between the Gospels studying the same events.  Thus, leading to a dynamic and an enriched Bible study experience.

COMPILATION PROCESS

When there is a common sentence in the Gospels then that sentence which is most complete is used. If another Gospel has a word or phrase which is unique, then that word or phrase is added. For example, the following verses reference the exact same events: Luke 23:25b; John 19:16; Matthew 27:31; and Mark 15:20.

Luke 23:25b – he delivered Jesus to their will. 

John 19:16 - Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 

Matthew 27:31 - And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. 

Mark 15:20 - And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 

The Holy Gospels in One’s illustration:

Now therefore then he (Pilate) delivered Him, Jesus, unto them, to their will in order to be crucified. Now they having taken Jesus and led Him away. And when, after they had mocked Him, they having stripped Him of the scarlet military robe and the purple garment and clothed Him with His garments and led Him away to crucify, in order for them to crucify Him.

TEXT AND TRANSLATION

The Koine Greek source text used in the English translation was Stephanus AD 1550 Received Text. To ensure textual translation accuracy, King James Version AD 1769 was cross referenced, while continual cross referencing the below sources.

Jesusname in Hebrew is Yeshua (YHWH Sets Free), however to be consistent with the Greek Translation of all the names we have kept the English Translation as Jesus.

The English words are sometimes limited therefore additional denotations in brackets are added. For example, the various Greek words for Love” such as Agapao (A) – deep love, Agape (Ae) – plural of deep love, and Phileo (P) – friendship love. Another Greek word for Man” such as Aner (M) meaning a male and anthropos” meaning mankind (human).
