JOHN WESLEYS NOTES
ON THE WHOLE BIBLE
THE NEW TESTAMENT
by John Wesley
PREFACE

1. For many years I have had a desire of setting down and laying together, what has occurred
to my mind, either in reading, thinking, or conversation, which might assist serious persons, who
have not the advantage of learning, in understanding the New Testament. But I have been continually
deterred from attempting any thing of this kind, by a deep sense of my own inability: of my want,
not only of learning for such a work, but much more, of experience and wisdom. This has often
occasioned my laying aside the thought. And when, by much importunity, I have been prevailed
upon to resume it, still I determined to delay it as long as possible, that (if it should please God) I
might finish my work and my life together.
2. But having lately had a loud call from God to arise and go hence, I am convinced that if I
attempt any thing of this kind at all, I must not delay any longer. My day is far spent, and (even in
a natural way) the shadows of the evening come on apace. And I am the rather induced to do what
little I can in this way, because I can do nothing else: being prevented, by my present weakness,
from either travelling or preaching. But, blessed be God, I can still read, and write, and think. O
that it may be to his glory!
3. It will be easily discerned, even from what I have said already, and much more from the
notes themselves, that they were not principally designed for men of learning; who are provided
with many other helps: and much less for men of long and deep experience in the ways and word
of God. I desire to sit at their feet, and to learn of them. But I write chiefly for plain unlettered men,
who understand only their mother tongue, and yet reverence and love the word of God, and have
a desire to save their souls.
4. In order to assist these in such a measure as I am able, I design first to set down the text itself,
for the most part, in the common English translation, which is, in general, (so far as I can judge)
abundantly the best that I have seen. Yet I do not say it is incapable of being brought, in several
places, nearer to the original. Neither will I affirm, that the Greek copies from which this translation
was made, are always the most correct. And therefore I shall take the liberty, as occasion may
require, to make here and there a small alteration.
