3. The revision of all the Gospel stories with the aim of establishing, according to the rules set forth, the course of the Gospel events

Someone will say: it turns out that the course of events is determined by the eyes, and consequently the combination of them together is mechanical labor. Not quite mechanical, but mostly like that. And this is the most reliable way.

It would be possible to build the Gospel story on some idea. But there are as many minds as there are heads, and as many minds, there are so many ideas and theories: which, of course, no one wishes for the Gospel story. It could be constructed according to considerations, based on some indications in the property of events, or their correlations, or in legends about them. The initial and final events are ordered in this way, but for the middle of them, as already noted, there are no such indications. In this case, they will have to be invented and invented, and there is a wide field for arbitrary assumptions. Therefore, this is also an unreliable path.

Of course, you can't do without considerations, but they must be inserted into a certain frame, otherwise they, like free birds, will fly in different directions. It is this framework that the rules set forth above serve. For considerations, the law is required to come only to the aid of the work of ordering events according to those rules, and at the same time not to expand beyond the limits indicated by them.

In the proposed Gospel story, this is how things go. The main figures here are the eyes, but the indeed[38] is also called upon to help them. In both ways, a consistent history is constructed, in which there is a basis for each event.

As the indication of such foundations in the Gospel history itself would be full of extraneous additions, which is not quite pleasant to encounter, it occurred to me to review with you all the Gospel stories beforehand, in order to accurately determine the place for each event according to the above-mentioned rules, with the invocation of help in other cases and certain considerations, so that later in the very exposition of the Gospel history I would no longer turn to this.

As an aid to you, I find it necessary to do the same as I did for myself. For myself, I made a detailed table of contents of the Gospels, placing them one against the other, in special facets. Here it is immediately clear where the legends go in agreement, where they diverge, where all the Evangelists agree, where three or two seem to disagree with one, and the eye easily determines the order of events.

I will present this table of contents to you in three sections, one for each part of the Gospel story:

the first will be for the initial events of the Gospel story, before the Lord's dwelling in Capernaum;

the second is for the midst of them until His departure from Galilee to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles;

the third is for the end of them from the feast of tabernacles to the ascension.

They are placed at the end.

4. Revision of the First Part of the Gospel Stories and Determination of the Course of Events for the First Part of the Gospel History

Looking through the first section of the table of contents of the Gospels, you can easily see that the events indicated here are divided into two halves: one constitutes the hidden life of the Lord, before Himself appears to the world; others took place in the Lord's manifestation of Himself to the world, or were His initial actions in the incarnate economy.
