Line 65: Line 65:  
:"And Mary, being vowed to the Lord by her parents when she was a child, and consecrated to him by them as a perpetual virgin to not know a man, a vow she had not made, which her husband therefore could not make void; when the angel told her she would conceive in her womb and bear a son; for this reason she said, 'How can this be?' "

This summarizes the reading from the law of Moses that had just been given in the text. The reasoning behind this summarized reading is dealt with in detail in the marginal notes of the longer form of the ''Harmony of the Gospel''. This summarization of the marginal material is followed by a repeat of the conversation with the angel Gabriel, to pick up where the narrative left off with the quotation of texts from the Torah, and going on from there. Most questions raised by parts of the New Testament texts that are controversial are tackled by the marginal notes of the longer form. At the bottom of each page of this narrative form is a link to the longer form of this Harmony of the Gospel, so the listener can access the marginal notes for some explanation of why the text says what it does, as a way of justification for the reading.

According to several sources, and commentaries on the Bible, the word "Gospel" is from the Greek word "evangelion", literally, "good message". Several modern Bible translations use the term "good news" in place of the word "gospel". The redacted text of this ''Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version)'' based on the World English Bible version (the WEB) also reads it as "good news". The Gospel is much more than that. Since "gospel" also means "proclamation", and the encyclopedic purpose of this Harmony of the Gospel is to be informative and increase understanding of the Christian New Testament, in this audio reading adaptation, the word "proclamation" is used as much as possible in place of "good news". For example, "The beginning of the proclamation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God", as the first verse from Mark chapter one.
