An ongoing set of comments on the gospels

I've put together a study-plan for the synoptics, showing the consecutive parallels and comparable verses. On June 8th, we start with the beginning of the Galilean ministry. Here is the schedule for June 8-19, the beginning of the ministry in Galilee and the North:

It's already excluded

Amazing that most people's religion is put together in a way that "just happens" to affirm their strengths and ignores their weaknesses. Luckily, Paul, in Romans 3:27, says "Where therefore is the boasting? It was shut out!"
