<< What are the "Eusebian Canon Tables"?

Early in the 4th century, Eusebius of Caesarea developed a marginal
reference system for the four Gospels. Since at that time the NT did not
have chapters nor verses, he divided each Gospel into sections. Matthew was
divided into 355 sections, Mark, 233, Luke 342, and John 232. Then sections
which were had parallels were collected in Canons. Thus (for example) in
Canon 1, section 8 of Matthew (3:3), section 2 of Mark (1:3), section 7 of
Luke (3:3-6), and section 10 of John (1:23), are deemed to be parallel
according to this Eusebian system.
