'The Morals and Life of Jesus 0f Nazareth'
extracted textually from the Gospels in Greek,
Latin, French and English. Title and very full
index in his own hand. Texts were cut by him
out of printed copies of Greek, Latin, French and
English Testaments and pasted in this book of
blank pages, which was handsomely bound in red
morocco, ornamented in gilt, and titled on the
back in gilt letters, 'The Morals of Jesus.'
The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was Thomas Jefferson's effort to extract the doctrine of Jesus by removing sections of the New Testament containing supernatural aspects as well as perceived misinterpretations he believed had been added by the Four Evangelists.
Using a razor, Jefferson cut and pasted his arrangement of selected verses from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in chronological order, mingling excerpts from one text to those of another in order to create a single narrative. Thus he begins with Luke 2 and Luke 3, then follows with Mark 1 and Matthew 3. He provides a record of which verses he selected and of the order in which he arranged them in his "Table of the Texts from the Evangelists employed in this Narrative and of the order of their arrangement."
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth begins with an account of Jesus’s birth without references to angels, genealogy, or prophecy. Miracles, references to the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, and Jesus' resurrection are also absent from The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.[5] It does, however, include references to Noah's Ark, the Great Flood, the Tribulation, and the Second Coming, as well as Heaven, Hell, and the Devil. The work ends with the words: "Now, in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus. And rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." These words correspond to the ending of John 19 in the Bible.
After completion of the Life and Morals, about 1820, Jefferson shared it with a number of friends, but he
never allowed it to be published during his lifetime.
The most complete form Jefferson produced was inherited by his grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, and was published
in 1895 by the National Museum in Washington. The book was later published as a lithographic reproduction by an
act of the United States Congress in 1904. For many years copies were given to new members of Congress.
The so-called Jefferson Bible, more accurately
" The Life and Morals of Jesus of
Nazareth," is now the property of the
United States National Museum at Washington,
having been obtained by purchase in 1895.
Several versions have been published -
- transcribed, and typed version
