IN the English authorised version, which is here made use of, parallel passages in the different Gospels in which the agreement is verbal are not unfrequently rendered into different although synonymous words ; whilst in others, where the meaning is the same but the words are different in the original, they are translated into the same words. In all such cases I have printed the expressions so translated in Italics in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Hence, if the words so printed agree with the corresponding passages in the Gospel of Mark, they are different in the Greek; or, if they differ in the English, they are identical in the Greek. For example, in Section VI. page 9, the words" casting a net into the sea," in Mat. iv. 18, and in Mark i. 16, are the same in the English translation, but in the original every word is different. On the other hand, the same words, " AUTE Tiow Mou," are translated, in Mat. iv. 19, "Follow ine," and in Mark i. 17, “Come ye after me." By attending to this the English reader will be able to ascertain where the agreement in the original is transcriptural and where it is translational.
