About Jesus Text
Jesus Text is a small reference site for the words and actions of Jesus found in the four Gospels. Its purpose is to make his teaching easier to see, read, and explore in context: real moments, real audiences, real places.
What you will find
- Teachings with short, self-contained sayings and instructions, anchored to Gospel references.
- Parables presented as complete stories, with clear links to where each telling appears.
- Events where Jesus speaks under pressure at hinge-points in the story (table, betrayal, trial, cross, resurrection).
- Witness views that group and compare parallel passages across Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John without forcing them into one merged text.
- Journeys that let you read sequences of teaching in order (for example: Sermon on the Mount, Parables of the Kingdom, the Final Week).
What this site is not
- Not a commentary, sermon archive, or platform for debate.
- Not a new translation or a replacement for reading the Gospels in full.
- Not an attempt to resolve every harmony question or produce a single definitive timeline.
- Not an exhaustive encyclopedia of every interpretive theme.
Structure and sources
Each page follows a consistent structure: the text itself, where it occurs, who Jesus is addressing, and the surrounding setting. Where multiple Gospel witnesses record the same moment, we present the passages side by side as parallel attestations, preserving each witness while making the shared event easier to see.
Scripture quotations are from the King James Version (1769), presented for reference and educational use.
