Introduction
Welcome to Volume 1 of Internet Bible Harmony based on the book of Matthew. The purpose of this volume is to allow one to read or teach from the book of Matthew while using hundreds of related references from the other books of the Bible.
The
version used in Bible Harmony is my ©Polished King
James Version, the same that was used in the Self-Teaching New
Testament. Here are some of the features you will find in this Internet Bible Harmony:
* A polished King James Version is used
for easier reading, studying, and teaching.
* Subtitles are used before all sections.
* The
verses in Matthew are in bold style to distinguish them from the references.
* Superscript numbers are used to identify the word or words
in Matthew that relate to the references.
* All individual verses in Matthew and references are
identified by book, chapter, and verse.
* Eleven-point type with spacing between each verse is
used for easy reading and teaching at a glance.
* References of parallel accounts from Mark, Luke, and John are
given (when available) before each section.
Every
possible effort has been made to make this work free of grammatical and
clerical errors. However, in the event that an error is found, I apologize for
any inconvenience, and I will make every effort to correct it in the future.
May
God bless this work to help many learn more about His divine and Holy will is
my prayer.
