Parallel Passage

As you may have known I have been doing a study in the gospels comparing the different versions presented by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In doing this I have discovered that they kinda jump around a bit and aren't always chronologically identical.

This has added to the time it takes me to study, and to be honest without the help of the Gospelcom bible and it's search tool I wouldn't have been able to stick with it as easily.

So just in case you are interested I decided to put together some of the passages as I go along to make it easier for you to try it for yourself.

One thing you will notice is that due to John's Gospel focusing more on statements and relationships between Jesus and His disciples, events that occur are often only mentioned in the first three Gospels and are not included in John.

Finally if you don't like the translation that I used (the New Living Translation) then after you have gone to the page you can use "see this passage in" pull down box at the top of the page, change it to the translation of your choice, and click go. NIV - New International Version, or KJV - King James Version, are probably two that are the most popular or well known. Do bear in mind that as this is an American website though it will have spelling mistakes (honour, and colour for example).

Jesus Grieves over Jerusalem

This is interesting as I notice that a couple of times now quotes from Jesus appear out of order - This one where he quotes Psalm 118:26 is quoted a year apart from Each other - I guess this can be allowed as they both occur at passover in Jerusalem. In this passge Jesus talks of his love for the people, and wanting to take care of them. I am not entirely sure what the part about "not seeing me again" exactly means - maybe you can let me know.

On a almost unrelated note have you noticed how many cool quotes come out of Psalm 118?


  • 1. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
    His faithful love endures forever.

  • 5. In my distress I prayed to the LORD,
    and the LORD answered me and rescued me.

  • 6. The LORD is for me, so I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?

  • 8. It is better to trust the LORD
    than to put confidence in people.

  • 14. The LORD is my strength and my song;
    he has become my victory.

  • 21. I thank you for answering my prayer
    and saving me!

  • 22. The stone rejected by the builders
    has now become the cornerstone.

  • 24. This is the day the LORD has made.
    We will rejoice and be glad in it.

  • 26. Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD.
    We bless you from the house of the LORD.

  • 28. You are my God, and I will praise you!
    You are my God, and I will exalt you!


    • How many of those are quoted in songs & hymns!!
