J. W. McGarvey, LL.D. and Philip Y. Pendleton, A.B. From the Introduction: SECTIONS AND SUBDIVISIONS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have divided the work into sections for analytical purposes, and in order to aid in the work of indexing and giving cross references. We have arranged the sections in what we believe to be the best chronological order, but have not attempted to justify our chronology, because space would not permit. We have also given the time and place of each section, where these things could be ascertained with any degree of accuracy. In this matter, however, we are liable to disappoint many of our readers, because we have been conservative. The dates and places given in similar works are too often more arbitrary assumptions: there being so little ground of reason back of them that they do not even justify one in calling them speculative. Unless we have had some reason for fixing a date or assigning a locality, we have refrained from doing either, though we have found them freely and positively asserted in such places in similar works. CARE IN PREPARING THIS WORK. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In preparing this work there has been no sparing of time, labor, or expense. While we have carefully avoided all conceits, quibblings, and useless refinements, and have studied to present only that which was useful, helpful, and practical, we have endeavored to put into the work the results of careful investigation and studious research. Besides theological treatises and works of reference, a full line of commentaries has been used. In some few cases, where the sections have been simple, from thirty to fifty commentaries have been consulted; but in the vast majority of sections between eighty and one hundred commentaries have been searched and sifted. To these painstaking labors of the junior editor, there has been added the results of the wider researches of the senior editor, effected during a half century of continuous Bible study and teaching. We have not aimed to produce a commentary for the textual critic, the theologian, or the professor; but a plain and simple work for all reader's of God's word. AN OBJECT IN VIEW. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moreover, having in view the preparation of a new series of Sunday-school lessons, we have prepared this work as a basis of such series. As the present International Series handles mere scraps of the Bible, it is practicable to print the text in quarterlies; but with a series which deals with the whole Bible, larger portions must be assigned for the lessons, and such printing of the text in the quarterlies becomes impossible. In such a series the pupil must be referred to the Bible itself, and in order that he may have a Bible with comments, we have prepared the present work, intending to follow it with similar volumes until the entire Bible is given to the public in this annotated form, if God permit. (McGarvey TFG v-vi, vii-viii) 09011 THE FOURFOLD GOSPEL by J. W. McGarvey and Philip Y. Pendleton, was published in book form in 1914 by Standard Publishing, Cincinnati; it was first issued quarterly in 1905 as Standard Bible Commentary. From this text, I have extracted the commentary which appears after the combined Scripture passages. When material is common to more than one Gospel, I have preferred the order of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John; thus, the main entry appears in Mark's record, with additional notes and cross-references being added to the other three Gospels as appropriate. In entering the commentary by McGarvey and Pendleton, I have attempted to preserve the text as accurately as possible, with only minor changes in spelling and punctuation. The cross- references in the text have been diligently checked and corrected as necessary. Chapter numbers in the text are in lower case roman letters; these I have changed to the On-Line Bible format to make them readily accessible to the user. In discussions of Greek words, I have inserted the transliterated words within brackets. Where commentary depends on the text of the ASV (the basis for this harmony of the Gospels), I have quoted from that translation. Otherwise, the highlighted text is the Authorized Version of OLB. The 145 sections and the subdivisions of the harmony are contained in the Topic 9000 file as well as in the commentary. Addenda and corrigenda are earnestly solicited.
