Chronological Gospel

Compare the One Year Bible vs. the Daily Bible for the Books of the Gospel.

This document supplements my Comparison of all the books of the Bible as shown in Chrononlogical order by the One Year Bible (OYB) and the Daily Bible (DB). This page focuses on the Gospel.

Notes

  1. When the various Gospel books cover the same subject that they are listed are in the order of Mark, Matthew, Luke, John. This is the order they are printed in the One Year Bible. In the Daily Bible they may be in any order in the text as they are merged into a paragraph form. (They a listed in the sidebar in the order of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.)
  2. The scripture references have been compressed whenever possible to reduce the size of this document. If a sequence such as Mark, Matt, Luke, is repeated with sequential verses on the OYB then they are collapsed into one set in this document even if the subject changes.
  3. A similar treatment is applied to the DB when possible even though the separate books are merged in the text they are compressed and shown in this list like they were separate entries. This was more difficult to do and I appoligize if this leads to confusion but it is the best I could do to allow the comparison.
  4. Dating of the Gospel period stretches longer in the OYB. It begins at 6BC with Jesus' birth as do most scholars (4BC to 6BC), and then adopts the traditional date for the crucifixion of 33 AD making Jesus 38 years old at his death. This is a different interpretation of the chronological records and accounts for many of the differences in the two versions. The dates shown in this table are from the Daily Bible.
