THE WORDS OF JESUS: The spoken words of Jesus in chronological order.
My heart’s desire is to become more like Jesus. For 6 months, the Lord prompted me to read and reread the 4 Gospels, over and over again, which I have done many times. <br><br>He then prompted me further to write out the recorded words Jesus spoke, from His childhood, through His time of ministry, after His resurrection, and finally, through Paul and John, after His ascension. I have resisted the temptation to create an index, as these words of Jesus need to be read right through to gain the maximum understanding of our Saviour and Lord.<br><br>NOT A BIBLE SUBSTITUTE<br><br>Of course, there are many words missing from the Gospel presentation, being those of the respective writers. A brief explanation of the situation immediately follows the subject title. If you are unsure of the writings, look them up. Bible references are given. Where there are words in between those Jesus says, His next saying commences on a new line. Verse numbers have also been removed, as Jesus didn’t speak these. <br><br>RECORDED EVENTS INCLUDED ONLY ONCE<br><br>Many of the events and stories are recorded in more than 1 place. References have been given for all scriptural locations. However, each episode in His life has been included only once, using the most detailed record of the particular conversation. The books the actual words have been taken from are identified by the use of different colours or underlining.<br><br>CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER<br><br>Finally, in order to follow through the life of Jesus, I have to the best of our current understanding, recorded these words in chronological order. We skip between gospels, for some periods in the life of Jesus are recorded in one place, but not another. Also, Jewish gospel writers, unlike those of our culture, record history on a theme basis, rather than on a time line. Hence some chapters are listed out of numerical order.<br><br>THANKS AND USE<br> <br>This project has been made possible through the recent availability of the FREE BIBLE VERSION on the internet, translated by Dr. Jonathon Gallagher.
