Gospel Part 1/9

INTRODUCTION

This Third Millennium Gospel of Jesus Christ is a consolidation of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John with the addition of a few verses from the unofficial Gospel of Phillip and the Gospel of Thomas with regards to Mary Magdalene.

Matthew and Luke both incorporate parts of the Gospel of Mark. I have eliminated the repetitions and when the same verses appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, I have chosen one for my gospel and referenced the duplicate saying in the other gospels where they appear.

If I have chosen Luke's rendition of certain verses over Matthew, and if you prefer Matthew's rendition, then substitute in Matthew. My goal is to increase the reading of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Matthew and Luke also both copied verses from the Gospel of "Q" (a gospel constructed by scholars based on the repetitions in Luke and Matthew) and I have eliminated the repetition with these verses as well. 30% of the unofficial Gospel of Thomas is repeated in the official gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

I have kept the chronilogical order from the annunciation of the birth of John the Baptist to the Sermon on the Mount and from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the Resurrection. I have grouped the rest, (miracles, healings, raising from the dead, excorcisms, parables, teachings, and conflicts with the Pharisees) together in categories and have not tried to keep them in chronilogical order.

The purpose of this gospel is simple; to make the story of Jesus more readable, more user friendly. In this gospel, you can read the story of Jesus from beginning to end without starting and stopping as you finish one gospel and move to the next gospel to find among the repetitions the non repetitive parts.

I feel the awesome power of the miracles, healings and teachings, etc. are more inspiring when read grouped together by subject.
