AN AMERICAN COMMENTARY

ON

THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The following volumes of this series, formerly called the Complete Commentary on the New Testament, have already been published. The remainder are all in preparation, and will be issued, probably, two volumes per year until completed:

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW, by John A. Broadus, D. D., LL. D.
THE GOSPEL OF MARK, by W. N. Clarke, D. D.

THE GOSPEL OF LUKE, by George R. Bliss, D. D.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, by Alvah Hovey, D. D., LL. D.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES, by Horatio B. Hackett, D. D.
THE REVELATION, by Justin A. Smith, D. D., in consultation
with James Robinson Boise, Ph. D., D. D., LL. D.

STEREOTYPED BY GARDNER COLBY.

The stereotype plates of this volume have been paid for out of the legacy of the late Gardner Colby. And for this reason the book, though containing 664 pages, is sold at the low price of $2.25.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1886, by the
AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY,

In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.
