For those wanting to retain language abilities for research or recreation, this volume contains the Gospel of Matthew in Interlinear format and the Gospel of Mark in parallel format in Hebrew, Latin, Greek, English, German, and French.

This book is different from typical "interlinears" in that the word order of the Greek text is aligned with the English text, and not the English with the Greek text. - Letter from author.
