LaGard Smith, though I have made some adjustments of my own. (Seeindex.html#Sources for more information.) The page numbers in the last column of the table are from that book. (When I have significantly changed theorder these are marked in green.)However, Smith never explains which Gospel Harmony he followed, and in fact he has graciously explained to me that after 35 years he no longerhas his original notes and cannot remember. I still consider his basic framework to be an excellent one and have mostly followed it, but recently for certaindetails I have come to rely on the monumental work Baker’s New Testament Commentary, by William Hendriksen and Simon Kistemaker, the four gospelsby Hendriksen.23 He goes into great detail in explaining the sequence of many events. For this reason, and because I had unnecessarily summarized severalsections, in June, 2020 I went into greater detail about many events, especially in the book of Luke, which has more unique material than Matthew or Mark,and rearranged some of these based on Hendriksen’s logic. I also added information on the Five Discourses of Jesus in Matthew.In any case this chronology should not be viewed as authoritative or inspired, but only as a helpful arrangement of the four gospels to show theirrelative chronology, using the key events marked with †, as shown below. Others have also made arrangements that are equally well thought through.However, the 3½-year framework seems to be the general consensus (see this page), as well as many of the details included here (see this page).Colors, Formatting, and SymbolsRed textPurple text†Orange line in leftmarginA key date or timespan provided in the text, or that can be calculated from it. The text that provides it is also in red. A fewevents cannot be dated, but are key in determining the order of other events, like the imprisonment of John the Baptistor his execution; these are also marked in red.Other time information provided in the text, or that can be calculated from it, such as “the next day” or “on a Sabbath”.This information is only relative, showing the time between two or more events, even though these cannot be dated inthe larger context. (Note that before the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and from the last week of his ministry onwards,all time information is colored red, not purple, since all of this time information is key and is datable in the largercontext.)This symbol indicates key events that allow us to construct this chronology, and to align the four gospels into onechronology. The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) tend to cover the same events and teaching, whereasJohn tends to cover quite different events and teaching, which makes it a bit difficult to align the synoptics with John.Even so, because of the few times they do cover the same events it is possible to develop this chronology.This shows the extent of what is known as the Great Galilean Ministry, which lasted about a year and a half, from aroundDecember of the year 27 until after Passover in the year 29. During this period Jesus spent most of his time in Galilee,and his ministry was very public.Formatting of References in Columns 4 through 7Bold and outlinedThe most complete or key passage, or a passage with important additional information.Blue outlineYellow backgroundA passage outside of the four gospels that provides further information within the context of the four gospels.Sky-blue backgroundChronology of the Four GospelsA passage that is not in chronological order in one of the gospels (or at least that The Narrated Bible organized in adifferent order). Mark and John seem to be almost entirely chronological, but often Matthew is not, and sometimesLuke is not. (In each case when Mark and John do not agree, a choice has been made to follow one or the other.However, these conflicts only occur in The Last Week of the Ministry of Jesus, and mostly represent quite minorvariations, except where clarified by a footnote.)A passage that is not actually out of order, but which refers forward or backward to another event, and so is placed out oforder.8Rick Aschmann, last updated 11-Feb-2022

(in parentheses)A passage that actually occurs elsewhere, but which provides information about an event which it does not directly narrate.[grey and inbrackets]A passage that might appear to be a parallel passage, but which was probably a separate event or a repeated teaching. Thecontext is what normally indicates this. (I have not included these exhaustively, since Jesus frequently taught similarthings, and they would not all fit in this chart. I have only included some of the more obviously similar repeatedteachings.)24Indicates a place where chronological order was followed, except that one or more passages with a yellow background or asky-blue background were moved elsewhere, leaving a nonsequential break.25Thick green line attop of referenceEndnotes:The return from Egypt occurred after the death of Herod the Great, who most likely died in March or April of 4 B.C. If Jesus’ ministry began in early 27 A.D., this makeshis age right at 30, as stated in Luke 3:23, if we assume that he was born not long before that. Remember, there is no year 0! However, many commentators haveassumed that the two-year figure in Matthew 2:16 means that Jesus was already two years old by the time of the arrival of the wise men, and that the phrase “about thirtyyears of age” in Luke 3:23 could mean up to 32. On the other hand, many other commentators, including such well-respected ones as Baker’s New TestamentCommentary and Alfred Edersheim, have said that we need not assume this, and that it fits the character of the wicked king Herod to have gone overboard in his killingof the infants. As Baker’s New Testament Commentary says, “When it came to killing, Herod always allowed himself a very wide margin.” For this reason I have simplysaid that Jesus was probably born sometime between 6 and 4 B.C.2See this page, this page, and this page for why the time frame mentioned in Luke 3:1 for the start of John’s ministry would have occurred in the latter part of 26 A.D.3And very probably also John, who may have been the other disciple
