The Eusebian Canons are a system of dividing the four Gospels into sections, developed by Eusebius of Caesarea in the 4th century. The system consists of ten tables, or canons, which list parallel passages in each of the four Gospels. Each table is divided into numbered sections, and each section contains a list of parallel passages from the Gospels. The Eusebian Canons were designed to help readers compare and contrast the different accounts of Jesus' life and teachings in the four Gospels. They were widely used in early Christian literature and are still studied by scholars today.
