odour of the ointment" (_vide_ St. John xii. 3; St.
Mark xiv. 3).

Or this:

"Ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, whereon never man
sat; loose them and bring them unto me" (_vide_ St. Matt. xxi. 2; St.
Mark xi. 2).

In both these extracts a little incident supplied by St. Mark is
introduced into the main narrative of another Evangelist, who had not
mentioned it.

The following also is interesting, taken from the gospels of St. Matthew,
St. Mark, and St. Luke--

"Is not this Joseph's son?" "Is not this the carpenter's son?" "Is
not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?" (_vide_ St. Luke iv. 23;
St. Matt. xiii. 55; St. Mark vi. 3).

It must not be thought that in the Concordance these extracts are printed
straight off, as they read here. If that were the case, it would be open
to objection that something like a new Gospel history was being compiled;
but in every case, without exception, wherever words are introduced from
another Evangelist, a space is left, a fresh line commenced, and the
distinguishing letter placed in the margin. One short extract, printed
as in the original, will make this quite clear.

C. 8. 23. But as they sailed He fell asleep.
A. 8. 24. And behold there arose a great
tempest in the sea.
C. And there came down a storm of wind
on the lake.
B. 4. 37. And the waves beat into the ship, so
that it was now full.
C. And they were filled with water, and
were in jeopardy.

Thus far the instances have been given to illustrate the plan of making
the Gospel history continuous. One or two examples may now be selected
to show how the two distinct types of print were used, which became
necessary for the reading of any one Evangelist alone.
