Classic Christian work

Commentary on Matthew, Mark, Luke - Volume 1

by John Calvin

A masterful harmony of the Synoptic Gospels, weaving Matthew, Mark, and Luke into a unified narrative with verse-by-verse exposition. This first volume traces the story from the birth of Christ through the Sermon on the Mount, early miracles, and the commissioning of the twelve apostles. Calvin's commentary illuminates each passage with careful exegesis, drawing out theological depth while comparing parallel accounts across all three Evangelists. A foundational work of Reformation-era biblical scholarship, invaluable for pastors, students, and anyone seeking to understand the Gospels with greater clarity and precision.
