The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ ... - GENEVA BIBLE 1599

The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ , According To Matthew The Argument In this History written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the Spirit of God so governed their hearts, that although they were four in number, yet in effect and purpose they so consent, as though the whole had been composed by any one of them. And albeit in style and manner of writing they be divers, and sometime one writeth more largely that which the other doth abridge; nevertheless in matter and argument, they all tend to one end; which is to publish to the world the favor of God toward mankind through Christ Jesus , whom the father hath given as a pledge of his mercy and love. And for this cause they entitle their story Gospel , which signifieth good tidings, for as such as God hath performed indeed that which the fathers hoped for. So that hereby we are admonished to forsake the world, and the vanities thereof, and with most affectioned hearts embrace this incomparable treasure freely offered unto us, for there is no joy nor consolation, no peace nor quietness, no felicity nor salvation, but in Jesus Christ , who is the very substance of this Gospel , and in whom all the promises are Yea, and Amen.

1 And in those days, John the Baptist came and preached in the wilderness of Judea, 2 And said, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he of whom it is spoken by the Prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
