Chronological Bible Part 5

#5-A PARALLEL CHRONOLOGICAL 4 GOSPEL BIBLE WITH INDIVIDUAL VERSES AND PARTS OF VERSES BROKEN DOWN SIDE BY SIDE.

The Chronological 4 Gospels are the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with a few verses from Acts and First Corinthians, combined in chronological form. This enables a person to read and study all four as a unit. One can read Matthew’s account of an event, and then read the same event in the other Gospels. There are certain events that are only presented in one or two Gospels, but others are presented in all 4. Now a student of the Bible can read and study how and when all the events occurred in relation to each other. Thus, a person’s knowledge and understanding of God’s Word should increase, as the Holy Spirit gives the understanding.

Mt 6:34. TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT (or do not worry) (ABOUT) (TOMORROW): FOR (TOMORROW) SHALL TAKE (CARE) (or worry) (ABOUT) (ITS OWN THINGS). SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF (or each day has enough trouble of its own-NASB) (already). (Ref Lk 12:22-32)
