This is not an exhaustive listing of every text in the Gospels. (Luke&#8217;s introduction, for example, is not included because it is related to Luke&#8217;s writing of the Gospel rather than the events of Jesus&#8217; life.) Further, the number and order of events is not always <!--more-->absolute. In some cases there is room for interpretation. When there is room for debate, specific rationale for a particular division or order can be found in the notes related to that event. Still, this provides a generally accepted chronology of events and can be very helpful in understanding the flow of Jesus&#8217; life during the Preparation Period.\u00a0For a downloadable .xls or .pdf of this\u00a0and other documents see <a href=\"http:\/\/interactivelifeofjesus.com\/?cat=28\">Handouts\/Downloads<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>INTRODUCTION TO MINISTRY (Approximately 6 months)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16.
