Excerpt from The Life of Lives: The Story of Our Lord Jesus Christ for Young People As the object of this book is an effort to make more real and vivid to general readers the char acter of Our Lord and the nature of His earthly surroundings, to bring Him nearer to the under standing, I have taken all Biblical quotations from Dr. James Moffatt's New Translation of the New Testament rather than from the beau tiful and familiar King James Version of the Bible. Dr. Mofl'att's new translation is the work of a profound scholar who has availed himself of the most recent discoveries, and has reclothed the Gospels in plain, Vigorous, accurate language which can be understood at a glance by the most casual reader, and which produces a quite fresh impression.
