The original source of MS Pepys 2498 (referred to as the Pepys Gospel or the Pepys Gospel Harmony) + is unknown but some scholars have theorized that it may be as old as Christianity itself. +\par +\par \tab One of the more interesting conclusions concerning Jesus based on the Pepys Gospel Harmony (PGH) sequence is that Jesus was a North Palestinian Essene associated w +ith the Damascus Covenant found at Qumran in Palestine and Genizah in Egypt. Furthermore, it has been proposed that Jesus held the office of Messiah defined in the Damascus Covenant and His goal as well as that of the other Damascus Covenant Essenes was +t +o convert the Pharisaical Jews of Judea which they viewed as the lost sheep of Israel to the Essene sect of Judaism. The sequence of events in the gospels as depicted in the PGH shows John the Baptist and Jesus converting Judean Jews through baptism in th +e wilderness of Judea. Jesus has an altercation at the temple in Jerusalem and John is arrested. After John\rquote s arrest, Jesus heads north all the way to Capernaum where he gathers followers numbering in the thousands. After John\rquote +s death, Jesus makes a final journey to Jerusalem and once more he and his followers from Northern Palestine convert Judean Jews. The Pharisaical leaders of the Judean Jews plot to kill Jesus and put an end to His teaching. +\par \tab Thus, the PGH sequence of the canonical gospels depicts what + some scholars believe to have been a sectarian struggle between the Essenes who adhered to the Damascus Covenant in Northern Palestine and the Pharisaical Jews in Judea for religious leadership of all Israelites. The Pharisaical Jews in Judea were lookin +g + for a Messiah to vanquish their enemies, Rome and the Herodians, and therefore rejected Jesus as their Messiah. Whereas, the Essenes were looking for a Messiah to vanquish their enemies, death, poverty, disease and infirmity, and therefore hailed Jesus a +s their Messiah. +\par +\par Below are some important academic notes concerning the PGH sequence of the gospels: +\par +\par \tab The PGH mentions the city of Gerasa which was an ancient city in Palestine which was destroyed by the 10th Roman legion Firensis in AD 70. Only the very +oldest existing manuscripts of the canonical gospels mention the city of Gerasa while later manuscripts refer to the area as the land of the Gerasenes. Thus the author of the original source of the PGH may have lived prior to AD 70. +\par +\par \tab The sequence of the PGH also parallels many aspects of the theoretical "Q" text. The Greek texts of Matthew and Luke in some areas are letter for letter matches which have led some scholars to theorize that at one time a single text \'93Q\'94 + was formed from an early form of Matthe +w and of Luke and then later portions of our modern forms of Matthew and Luke were copied from this single gospel text. Additionally, in the modern text of Luke the "Parable of the Lamp" occurs in both Chapter 8 and Chapter 11. It has been theorized that +a +n early text that contained Luke had only one "Parable of the Lamp" and that the parable was either cut in half or duplicated in our modern texts. The PGH sequence combines portions of Luke Ch. 8 and 11 and only has a single account of the "Parable of the + Lamp" just as some scholars have theorized would've existed in the single gospel forerunner of the modern text of Luke. +\par +\par \tab Scholars have also theorized that the "Q" text would've been constructed into categories and composed of lists such as a list of parab +les. This idea was formulated in part based on the gospel of Thomas found at Nag Hammadi. The PGH does form the gospel account into categories or groupings and there are two major groupings of parables in its sequence just as theorized for the \'93Q\'94 + text. +\par +\par \tab +The event sequence of the PGH also enhances the account of the four gospels. The sequence produces cause and effect relationships between events and the interactions of various individuals with each other and with Jesus. For instance, The PGH sequence con +tains both Mary Magdalene's conversion and subsequent discipleship (this is in the modern gospel texts but is somewhat obscured due to their non-chronological sequence). Thus Mary Magdalene plays a major role in the account of Jesus which is implied by ma +n +y ancient sources such as the gospel of Thomas but not highlighted by the canonical gospels in their present sequence. The same is true for the significance of John the Baptist in Jesus' ministry. In the PGH sequence, John the Baptist is portrayed as an i +m +portant ally of Jesus' ministry and his arrest and later death are both pivotal moments in Jesus ministry as portrayed by the PGH sequence. The importance of John the Baptist in the ministry of Jesus is implied by many ancient sources and that importance +is vividly depicted in Jesus\rquote ministry using the PGH sequence of the canonical gospels. +\par +\par \tab Moreover, the PGH is the only manuscript in existence which depicts an error free chronological sequence for the events in the life of Jesus as portrayed in the four +canonical gospels. The four canonical gospels make no claim to being written in chronological sequence. There are historical/traditional accounts that indicate that the four canonical gospels were not written in chronological order. For instance, Papias ( +A +D 135) indicated that Mark was not in any particular order. An engineered reconstruction of the chronological order of the gospels indicates that while several sequences are possible -- the sequence of the modern gospels is not in chronological order. For + instance, the passage in Mark 3:13-19 not only precedes the passage in Mark 3:20-31 by over a dozen events but in fact several passages in Mark actually occur between Mark 3:13-19 and Mark 3:20-31. +\par +\par \tab Also, while there have been many modern attempts to reconstruct the sequence of the events of Jesus life as narrated in the four canonical gospels none of these reconstructions has as many parallels to the theoretical \'93Q\'94 + text as the PGH. Furthermore the theory for the \'93Q\'94 text was first proposed in the 1800\rquote s and the PGH manuscript predates the \'93Q\'94 text theory by 400 years. Thus the best candidate to date for the \'93Q\'94 + text sequence is the PGH manuscript. +\par +\par \tab More importantly, the best manuscript for a chronological depiction of the actual sequence of events in the life of Jesus is The Pepys Gospel Harmony MS 2498. +\par }{\kerning28 +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par +\par }{\fs20\kerning28 +\par }\pard \qc \li0\ri0\keepn\nowidctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\f28\kerning28 \page }{\b\f28\fs28\kerning28 Acknowledgements}{\b\f28\kerning28 +\par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\keepn\nowidctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\f28\kerning28 +\par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\f28\kerning28 The biblical text for this book is from }{\b\i\f28\ul\kerning28 The Common Edition of the New Testament}{\i\f28\kerning28 }{\f28\kerning28 +by T.
