Greek Text

The reconstruction of the gospel texts below is based on the critical edition of E. Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece presented with a fuller critical apparatus in Kurt Aland's Synopsis Quattuor Evangeliorum ed. ii (Stuttgart: Württembergische Bibelanstalt, 1964) p. 179. The matched column format & color coding employed here is the original work of the author of this electronic edition.

Note: The accented Greek script used to compose this synopsis is SP Ionic.
