Excerpt from Introduction to the New Testament: The Collection of the Four Gospels and the Gospel of St. Matthew The first and strictly preliminary chapter of this second volume will not deal with the composition of our gospels. I Shall confine myself to inquire how and when the group, hitherto closed and inseparable, Of these four writings was formed, which we shall have thereafter to study separately. In the first volume of this work I had not to strike out a new path, for studies pursued during a long series of years had led me to convictions very much in accordance with the views generally admitted on the composition, the date, and the chronological order of the thirteen epistles of St. Paul which I regard as authentic.

It is the time of that long waiting of which Jesus speaks in Mark (xiii. 35) and Luke (xii. 38), which begins in the evening, continues till midnight, is prolonged till the cock-crowing and even perhaps till the morning, when all hope of seeing the Master arrive will seem lost. Is it not, lastly, the time needed in order that the seed may become a tree whose branches shelter the peoples, and that the leaven may pervade the whole of human life? Such is the sum of the facts, each of longer or less duration, which, according to the words of Jesus scattered in our Synoptics, must be placed between His departure and His return, and consequently take place alongside of this third part of the discourse that we are considering. It is then a very grave error to pass lightly over these few verses, that in reality embrace the whole period of the life of the Church, in the actual absence of the Lord, the interval called by Luke by this striking name: the times of the Gentiles (Kaipol edvav). "Jerusalem," he says (xxi. 24), " shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." This expression cannot denote the time of the domination of the Gentiles, for the phrase would be tautological: the Gentiles will dominate the Holy Land, as long as it will be given them to dominate it! It assumes, on the other hand, its full meaning if it be explained by the two parallel sayings (Matt. xxi. 41 'and 43): "He will let his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons (ev rots Kaipols avr&v)....

This is volume 1 of a 2 volume comparison of the earliest translations of the New Testament into English. This present volume presents the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Included in this study are the 1382 Wycliffe, the 1395 Purvey (also known as the later Wycliffe), both the 1526 and the 1534 Tyndales, the 1599 Geneva, and the 1611 King James. The spelling has been updated to modern standards to improve readability, but all of the original wording has been retained for historical accuracy. Volume 1 is limited to the 4 Gospels, due to page count limitation.
