Reseña del editor:

The man who, for the purpose of instruction or edification, peruses the four books of the gospels the only authentic sources of information respecting the words and actions of our blessed Lord should be aware that he is reading works composed about eighteen centuries ago, and descriptive of events which happened among a people of different language from his own, of different manners, of different habits of thought, of different institutions social, political, and religious. He must, therefore, expect to meet in them with colloquial idioms to which he is a stranger, with allusions to matters of which he is ignorant, and with figures, metaphors, and similitudes the usual vehicles of oriental instruction the exact import of which, though easily understood by those to whom they were addressed, can now in many instances be discovered only, if it can be discovered at all, with the aid of long and patient investigation. 2.
