Synopsis
The New Testament: Translated From Griesbach's TextThis late-19th-century English rendering presents Matthew and Mark in parallel, with translator notes describing the use of Griesbach’s Greek text as the basis. The excerpt covers most of Matthew and the opening of Mark, placing Jesus’ ministry within first-century Judea and Galilee under Roman rule and featuring figures such as Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees. It emphasizes Jesus’ divine authority, the Kingdom of God, mercy, forgiveness, faith, and discipleship, tracing the birth and return to Nazareth, John the Baptist’s ministry, Jesus’ baptism, temptation, and the beginning of his Galilean ministry. It includes the Sermon on the Mount, miracles and exorcisms, parables, passion predictions, the Last Supper, betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, and the post-resurrection commission, ending the Matthew portion with the women at the tomb. The Mark portion starts the narrative anew, ending mid-scene as it leads into the Passion narrative. A secondary portion summarizes Pauline letters, Hebrews, James, Peter, John, Jude, Revelation, and Acts, outlining early Christian doctrine and eschatological hope.
