READINGS IN GREEK. XI. 



THE NEW TESTAMENT (continued). 



IN our present reading wo propose to give a further selection 

 of passages from the Greek Testament, taken from tho Gospels 

 and Acts of the Apostles. Our next paper will contain ex- 

 tr:irt-< from tho Epistles, which are somewhat more difficult, 

 of interpretation. For our present reading, no further intro- 

 ductory remarks are necessary than those prefixed to our lost 

 reading. The student will take care to watch for any unusual 

 form of expression which we have already noticed as found 

 principally in the Greek of the Now Testament.
