The "Event"

Previously (April, 2015) I posted a compilation account of Jesus. It is a kind of "Life". It is also available via the above "page" link.

The basis of the content is the Gospel of Mark, with small contributions from Matthew and Luke, plus some of John.

The concept is to allow a reader to easily read a version of the story of Jesus online in continuous form.

The original was unfortunately replete with HTML formatting issues, because I had used simple "copy and paste" into Blogger.

"The Jesus Event" is now re-done and corrected. I have taken the opportunity to ensure full compliance with copyright requirements (no complete chapters from one publication, etc). Versions I used are more or less arbitrarily alternated, with no preference implied or intended.

The Jesus Event

a compiled presentation

Following is a presentation of Jesus derived from Mark, with additions from John, and substitutions (shorter) from Matthew and Luke. (I ended up with about 15,500 words; 25 pages.)

You might instead simply read Mark in whatever version you wish, e.g. via Bible Gateway.com.

This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The Augustus Connection (Edn 2)

Original edition published 2016

The Augustus (AVGVSTVS) Connection

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. (Luke 2:1, NRSV).

This line about events relating to the Lucan account of the birth of Jesus refers to the “princeps” of Rome, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian. He was born 23 September 63 BC (BCE) as Gaius Octavianus, otherwise known as Octavian (and, from January, 27 BC, as Augustus). Jesus’ birth, on any reckoning, came long after the Senate had granted the honour (Augustus) to Octavian.

Intro

See above 'Pages' (links). These links all operate within the Google 'Blogger' application. They do not go external to Blogger. I expect to add some more 'chapters' (ie, 'pages').

I hope it is not a concern that I am not posting (below) in the usual manner for Blogger.

I have previously posted the content of 'Bible Reader, One' in 'JesusSaviour4UnMe'.

To any 'One Bible Reader' it is!

This is a work under construction. The central purpose is to assist you to explore about Jesus for yourself, with 'no strings attached'.
