<< 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.
