A harmony of the life of Christ
And now, I would commend you toseek this Jesus
of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you forever. Amen. Ether 12:41
The four Gospels woven into one account, with the Joseph Smith Translation in plain view: its substantive changes marked against the King James, and revelations, letters, and commentary gathered beneath each section. The text is the Covenant Christian Edition, which carries Joseph's translation throughout, in modern English.
