The electronic edition of B. W. Johnson's The Christian International Lesson Commentary for 1886 has been produced from a copy of the printed text published by Christian Publishing Co. (St. Louis, MO: 1885). Thanks to the Disciples of Christ Historical Society for providing a loan-copy of the book.

      Pagination in the electronic version has been represented by placing the page number in brackets following the last complete word on the printed page. In the printed text, Scripture text from the Common and Revised versions appears at the head of each page throughout the lessons; in the electronic edition, the Scripture text from both versions appears immediately following the Introduction to the lesson. I have let stand inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography; however, I have offered corrections for misspellings and other accidental corruptions. Emendations are as follows:
