Eusebian Canons

Eusebius of Caesarea

This pericope set was delineated by Eusebius in his Letter to Carpanius. According to the Nestle-Aland 27th Edition preface, “Eusebius divided the four Gospels into small units by content, and reorganized them into ten canons. Canon 1 lists the pericopes represented in all four gospels, canons 2–4 those in three, canons 5–9 lists those found in only two Gospels, and canon 10 lists the sections which are peculiar to each Gospel.”

About Eusebian Canons

The Eusebian Canons is one of the first Gospel harmonies and the most widely used. It divides the Gospels into sections to show where they agree with one another. This harmony was in wide use from the fifth century onward, and still serves an important purpose for understanding how the Gospels tell an important story, and how that story has been understood and interpreted throughout the church’s history.
