The Gospel of Jesus According to St. Matthew - As Interpreted to B. L. Harrison by the Light of the Godly Experience #251552

At the end of chap. 11 Joseph and Mary are spoken of as having settled in Nazareth with their young child, and then the first verse of chap. Iii. States, in those days came John the Baptist. In what days? Soon after the parents had settled in Nazareth with the infant Jesus? No, for Luke in chap. Iii. 1 — 3 fixes the time of John's appearance to be the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, that is, over thirty years after the birth of Jesus. It is thus clear that the link attempted to be made between the first two chaps. And the third chap. Of St. Matthew by the words in those days is a failure, and neither Mark nor John gives the birth story.
