and the interactions of various individuals with each other and with Jesus.
For instance, The PGH sequence contains both Mary Magdalene's conversion and
subsequent discipleship (this is in the modern gospel texts but is somewhat
obscured due to their non-chronological sequence). Thus Mary Magdalene plays
a major role in the account of Jesus which is implied by many ancient sources
such as the gospel of Thomas but not highlighted by the canonical gospels in
their present sequence. The same is true for the significance of John the
Baptist in Jesus' ministry. In the PGH sequence, John the Baptist is
portrayed as an important ally of Jesus' ministry and his arrest and later
death are both pivotal moments in Jesus ministry as portrayed by the PGH
sequence. The importance of John the Baptist in the ministry of Jesus is
implied by many ancient sources and that importance is vividly depicted in
Jesus' ministry using the PGH sequence of the canonical gospels.

Moreover, the PGH is the only manuscript in existence which depicts an
error free chronological sequence for the events in the life of Jesus as
portrayed in the four canonical gospels. The four canonical gospels make no
claim to being written in chronological sequence. There are
historical/traditional accounts that indicate that the four canonical gospels
were not written in chronological order. For instance, Papias (AD 135)
indicated that Mark was not in any particular order. An engineered
reconstruction of the chronological order of the gospels indicates that while
several sequences are possible -- the sequence of the modern gospels is not
in chronological order. For instance, the passage in Mark 3:13-19 not only
precedes the passage in Mark 3:20-31 by over a dozen events but in fact
several passages in Mark actually occur between Mark 3:13-19 and Mark 3:20-
31.

Also, while there have been many modern attempts to reconstruct the
sequence of the events of Jesus life as narrated in the four canonical
