“Years ago I began something of a study of a chronological arrangement of the account of the ministry of Jesus in Palestine, - a harmony, as it is called, as recorded in the four Gospels. I have grouped the incidents of the Savior’s life into eight periods based primarily upon the different missionary activities of his life, plus his pre-missionary activities. I have arranged the incidents in a chronological order that seemed generally to represent the majority view of the harmonists consulted. It is not to be assumed that they necessarily represent the true chronological order of the incidents that made up the Savior’s life. The precise order of events may not be too material. What Jesus said and what He did, His teachings and doctrines, these are the things that are important.” (The Preface)
