Passages in the Harmony are color coded in this manner:
OLD TESTAMENT, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE and JOHN
The words of Christ are in Red.
Text in BLACK is non-scriptural interjections or alternate translation.
The Scriptural texts used come from the King James Version unless otherwise noted.
Some redundancy has been edited out of the narrative. Thou, thee and other peculiarities of Old English have also been changed to the modern equivalent for easier reading.
About the color-coding: there has been a traditional assignment of colors to represent key aspects of Scripture. Blue represents prophecy, brown represents temporal blessings, red represents salvation and green represents the Holy Spirit.
The four Gospels also address four aspects of Jesus Christ in their thematic approach to His life. Matthew is His Kingship, Mark is He as Servant, Luke is He as Savior and John addresses His Deity.
I have tried to match the colors to the Gospel and attribute. However, I choose to use orange for Luke (Savior and salvation) in order to reserve red for the Words of Christ.
I use Blue for the Old Testament quotes because, in most cases where they apply to the Gospels, they are prophetic.
