our cbfonpjpgiqal an ^ ngemeftt of the records of our Lord ' s Ministry , comn » enc * pg witb hi 3 tfeptwwn apd ^ odipg wift bis Ascension . We find it convenient to divide our Monotessaron ( or sipgle narrative formed fjpm the four Gospel *) UttQ Nine Parts ; to the firpt of wfeich we should prefix the account of tfce Baptist ' s Ministry . I . Frqm < W Lord ' s JB ^ ptisro , tp his First Miracle at Capa , Shortly before the First Passover . II . * From the First Passover , inclusively ; , to the Fsasat of Tabernacles . m $ h
Uh Transactions co ^ A ^ cte 4 # & Feast of Tabernacles ; about which tinae , pj ? obably , the Baptist was imprisoned . IV . Christ ' s Public Preachiug in Galilee , as fer as the Mission of the Twelve , shortly before the Feast of Dedication . V . Occurrences between the Mission of the Twelve and tlie Death of the Baptist , which caused the complete Return of the Twelve .
VL From the Return of the Twelve , followed by the miracle of the Five Thousand , Ho the termination of our Lord ' s Ministry in Galilee . VH . Those Discourses and Miracles recorded in Luke ' s Qooinojogy , ch . x . 1—xvii . 10 , which are not referred to other parts ^* VIII . Occurrences on our Lord's last Journey from Galilee , till his arrival at Bethany , " six days before the Passover . " IX . From our Lord ' s arrival at Bethany to his Ascension ,
Part I * From our Lords 'Baptism to his First Miracle . After the Baptist bad engaged in his preparatory ministry , for about four or five months , our I * prd , being then about thirty years of age , presented himself at the baptism of John ; and was then specially appointed to his high office , by the voice of God , and a visible symbol of his spirit . Immediately after this , Jesus , now the Messiah , retired to the Desert for forty
- * Respecting the transactions and discourses which are included in Luke's Guoinology , one of three plana may be adopted by the Harmonist . ( 1 . ) They may all be arranged , according to the best of l ) is judgment , in . their proper places iu the history , § ince they must all have occurred somewhere , it may be deemed his business to find " a probable situation for each . ( 2 . ) Those wbicn present strong internal evidence of their projier situation in the history , may be arranged accordingly ; and the remainder may be inserted , as Luke has done the whole , at the close
oi Christ ' s public ministry in Galilee- ( 3 . ) These may be placed at the end of the whole Jristory- —The third plan is adopted in the Boston Harmony , following the system of its basis . There are these weighty objections against it : it places too much out of view some discourses of peculiar interest and importance ; and , it separates them from that portion of our Lord ' s ministry to which they certainly belong , though we may not be able to ascertain their specific situation in it . —The writer of these articles has long prepared a harmony , iu constructing which he adopted the first plan : but there is , in general , little , in the internal evidence , to decide the specific situation ; and the system requires so much separation of
portions which one is accustomed to see together in £ t . Luke , and interruption in the coarse of events aa briefly given by JVfattbew , that it does not , in practice , well fall ill with the purpo « e « of a chronological arrangement of the gospel narratives . He ba « , therefore , come to the conclusion that the second pjan U beet even fqr the modern harmonist , who baa ( in some respects ) more advantages for ascertaining the aitnation of events than St . Luke could possess . Iu his invaluable record , this Erangelistiias placed his Gnomology just where it was moat uaefui , as well as most convenient , to place it ; where the contents of it most harmonize with , and least interrupt , the train of tlje history ; and where , in various portions at least , they were connected by local association .
