PREFACE
The Bible text is that issued by the American Revision Committee in 1900. In this revision the closing portion of Matthew Chapter VI., verse 13, beginning with the words, For thine is the kingdom, is omitted, whilst Swedenborg refers to it as part of the Word.
Words in parenthesis indicate a reference to an earlier part of the same, or to a preceding number.
It is the intention to continue the work, so that similar Commentaries on other books of the Word may appear. A Commentary on the Gospel according to John is in preparation.
The courtesies of the Trustees of the Rotch fund are gratefully acknowledged.
