The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are arranged in three parallel columns in the following tables, in their relative order. There are five tables. On the outer margins of each table are consecutive numbers, for more easy reference to any parallel passages required. Each table is numbered in Roman numerals. Observe the following direction:-
0—Put before any text shows that no parallel passage occurs in the other two Gospels. 1,2 or 1,3 or 2,3 indicate the columns in which parallels occur. The headings introduced, e.g. M. 1. 6; L. 2. 8, (e.g. Matthew, table, 1, line number 6; Luke, table 2, line number 8) refer not to chapters and verses, but to the table and the marginal numbers opposite the line in which the passage referred to is to be found.-Ed.]
NOTE.
Mark is the most strictly chronological.
Luke follows him closest where he is so; hut the middle of the gospel is a collection of instructions not chronological, but morally connected.
Matthew orders his materials, or the Holy Spirit by him, to show the dealing with the Jews, as come to them according to promise, and the change to the new thing; and, though prophetically speaking of Church as well as kingdom, leads Christ, at close, to Galilee, with the residue, and does not follow the history to the ascension, but he alone gives the history of the resurrection itself. Harmonies lose the distinctive power of the gospel.
I believe Matt. 28:1,1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. (Matthew 28:1) to mean the evening of Saturday, the crepuscule of evening not morning; ver. 5 is a new paragraph. Luke 24:3434Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. (Luke 24:34) alludes to the appearing to Peter, of which Paul speaks. Luke's account as to women is quite general. Mary Magdalene was at the sepulcher when it was dark. Peter and John go, and go away home. Mary remains and sees Jesus. When the women come they see the angels and flee. Mary Magdalene, taught of Jesus, goes and tells disciples. As the others went, Jesus meets them, and desires them to tell disciples He was going into Galilee. Mary Magdalene was to tell them He was going to the Father. It was only in their flight the women said nothing to any one. After meeting Jesus they were probably re-assured; and, at any rate, afterward they told what the angels told them, as we learn from the Lord going to Emmaus, and see Luke 24:99And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. (Luke 24:9). But he unites all in a general statement, as often, and adds other women. Ver. 12 is apart; the Greek has not "then." The accounts are very brief, and refer to object of gospel. Several saw Him. See Mark 16:1414Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. (Mark 16:14); and 1 Cor. 15.
