The Bible is the main book of mankind. It was written in ancient times, BC. The authors of this Great Book were people of different classes from farmers to Tsars. But for a believer, there is no doubt that God led the hand of each author.
What does the Bible include
This Eternal Book consists of the Old and New Testaments.
The Old Testament tells:
- about the creation of the world;
- describes the history of the Jewish people;
- contains many prophecies and predictions;
- tells about the past and future life of mankind.
For two long millennia, biblical books were written in completely different languages.
The Old Testament is written in Hebrew, part of It was written in ancient Aramaic. His texts were collected from 1513 to 443 BC.
It took almost two thousand years to write the Eternal Book.
The New Testament is the second part of the Bible, it carries the light of Christmas.
It includes:
- Gospel texts.
- Epistles of the Holy Apostles.
- Acts of the Apostles.
- Apocalypse or Revelation of John the Theologian.
Four texts were written by Matthew, Luke, Mark, John.
The gospel means the good news, it tells about the life of Jesus Christ. About the coming into the world of the Savior of the human race. About the birth of the Son of God on earth, His deeds, prophecies, suffering for the sins of the world and the Resurrection from the dead.
This part of the Book was written much later. The authors of the texts were evangelists who lived at the time of Christ. They wrote based on real events, passing on the memories of the Apostles and eyewitness accounts.
The New Testament is written in ancient Greek. The gospel was written in Greek. The period of its writing is from 41 to 98 AD. e.
The main differences between the Bible and the Gospel
The Bible includes several books, including the Gospel. The good news is only part of this collection.
The Bible tells about the creation of the world, about the Jewish people. The gospel is a description of the life of Jesus Christ, a story about His teachings, about the Resurrection from the dead.
The Bible was written much earlier, this process stretched for 1600 years. It is written in a variety of languages, the Gospel narrative is entirely in ancient Greek.
The Bible was written by ordinary people inspired by God. The gospel was written by evangelists.
In biblical predictions, more than once it was said about the coming of the Savior. About deliverance of people from death for sins.
The gospel tells of predictions that have come true. About the birth of Jesus Christ, who became the Savior of all mankind. About His simple life, good deeds, healings, teachings and how victory over death - Resurrection.
When reading the new part, the meaning of the Old Testament is most fully revealed. It is recommended to start studying the Bible by reading the Gospel of Mark, the most accessible and understandable for every person.
The good news brings Light, Truth, Hope for eternal life to all mankind.
The Bible is different from the Gospel, together they make up one Book, the reading of which gives wisdom and reveals the truth.
The sacred book of the Christian religion, a record of God's revelations to man received over many millennia. This is a book of divine instructions. It gives us peace in grief, the solution of life's problems, the condemnation of sin, and the spiritual maturity so necessary to overcome our worries.
The Bible cannot be called one book. It is a whole collection of books, a library, written under the guidance of God by people who lived in different ages. The Bible has history, philosophy, and science. It also includes poetry and drama, biographical information, and prophecy. Reading the Bible Gives Us Inspiration It is no surprise that the Bible, in whole or in part, has been translated into more than 1,200 languages. Every year, the number of copies of the Bible sold worldwide exceeds the number of copies sold of any other book.
The Bible truthfully answers the questions that have worried people from time immemorial "How did man appear?"; "What happens to people after death?"; "Why are we here on earth?"; "Can we know the meaning and meaning of life?" Only the Bible reveals the truth about God, points the way to eternal life, and explains the eternal problems of sin and suffering.
The Bible is divided into two parts: the Old Testament, which tells about the participation of God in the life of the Jewish people before the coming of Jesus Christ, and the New Testament, which gives information about the life and teachings of Christ in all His truth and beauty.
(Greek - "good news") - the biography of Jesus Christ; books revered as sacred in Christianity that tell about the divine nature of Jesus Christ, his birth, life, miracles, death, resurrection and ascension.
The translation of the Bible into Russian was started by the Russian Bible Society by the Highest order of the Sovereign Emperor Alexander I in 1816, resumed by the Highest permission of the Sovereign Emperor Alexander II in 1858, completed and published with the blessing of the Holy Synod in 1876. This edition contains the text Synodal translation of 1876, re-checked with the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and the Greek text of the New Testament.
The commentary on the Old and New Testaments and the appendix "The Holy Land in the Time of Our Lord Jesus Christ" are reprinted from the Bible published by the Brussels publishing house "Life with God" (1989).

Introduction to the Books of the New Testament
The Scriptures of the New Testament were written in Greek, with the exception of the Gospel of Matthew, which is said to have been written in Hebrew or Aramaic. But since this Hebrew text has not survived, the Greek text is considered the original for the Gospel of Matthew. Thus, only the Greek text of the New Testament is the original, and numerous editions in various modern languages of the whole world are translations from the Greek original. The Greek language in which the New Testament was written was no longer the classical ancient Greek language and was not, as previously thought, special New Testament language. This is a spoken everyday language of the 1st century. according to P. X., which has spread throughout the world and is known in science under the name "common dialect", nevertheless, both the style and turns of speech, and the way of thinking of the sacred writers of the New Testament reveal Hebrew or Aramaic influence.
The original text of the New Testament has come down to us in a large number of ancient manuscripts, more or less complete, numbering about 5000 (from the 2nd to the 16th centuries). Until recent years, the most ancient of them did not go further than the 4th century. according to P. X. But recently, many fragments of ancient manuscripts of the New Testament on papyrus (III and even II century) have been discovered. For example, Bodmer's manuscripts: Jn, Lk, 1 and 2 Pet, Jude - were found and published in the bos of the 20th century. In addition to Greek manuscripts, we have ancient translations or versions in Latin, Syriac, Coptic and other languages (Vetus Itala, Peshitto, Vulgata, etc.), of which the oldest existed already from the 2nd century to P.X.
Finally, numerous quotations from the Church Fathers in Greek and other languages have been preserved in such quantity that if the text of the New Testament were lost and all ancient manuscripts were destroyed, then specialists could restore this text from quotations from the works of the Holy Fathers. All this abundant material makes it possible to check and refine the text of the New Testament and to classify its various forms (the so-called textual criticism). Compared with any ancient author (Homer, Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Cornelius Nepos, Julius Caesar, Horace, Virgil, etc.), our modern - printed - Greek text of the New Testament is in an exceptionally favorable position. And by the number of manuscripts, and by a short time. separating the oldest of them from the original, and in the number of translations, and in their antiquity, and in the seriousness and volume of critical work carried out on the text, it surpasses all other texts (for details, see: "Hidden Treasures and New Life", archaeological discoveries and the Gospel , Bruges, 1959, pp. 34 ff.).
The text of the New Testament as a whole is fixed absolutely irrefutably.
The New Testament consists of 27 books. They are subdivided into 260 chapters of unequal length by the publishers for ease of reference and quotation. The original text does not contain this division. The modern division into chapters in the New Testament, as in the whole Bible, has often been ascribed to the Dominican Cardinal Hugh (1263), who worked it out in composing a symphony to the Latin Vulgate, but it is now thought with great reason that the division goes back to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, who died in 1228. As for the division into verses now accepted in all editions of the New Testament, it goes back to the publisher of the Greek New Testament text, Robert Stephen, and was introduced by him into his edition in 1551.
The sacred books of the New Testament are usually divided into law-positive (Four Gospels), historical (Acts of the Apostles), teaching (seven conciliar epistles and the seventeen epistles of the Apostle Paul) and prophetic: the Apocalypse, or the Revelation of St. John the Theologian (see Metropolitan Philatera's Long Catechism)
However, modern experts consider this distribution outdated: in fact, all the books of the New Testament are both law-positive and historical teaching, and there is prophecy not only in the Apocalypse. New Testament scholarship pays great attention to establishing the exact chronology of the gospels and other New Testament events. Scientific chronology allows the reader to trace with sufficient accuracy the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, the apostles and the original Church according to the New Testament (see Appendixes).
The books of the New Testament can be distributed as follows.
- Three so-called Synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and separately, the fourth - the Gospel of John. New Testament scholarship devotes much attention to the study of the relationship of the first three Gospels and their relation to the Gospel of John (the synoptic problem).
- The book of the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of the Apostle Paul ("Corpus Paulinum"), which are usually divided into:
- Early Epistles: 1 and 2 to the Thessalonians;
- Great Epistles: to the Galatians, 1 and 2 to the Corinthians, to the Romans;
- Messages from bonds, i.e., written from Rome, where ap. Paul was in prison: to the Philippians, to the Colossians, to the Ephesians, to Philemon;
- Pastoral Epistles: 1 to Timothy, to Titus, 2 to Timothy;
- Epistle to the Hebrews; - Catholic Epistles ("Corpus Catholicum")
- Revelation of John the Evangelist. (Sometimes in the New Testament they single out "Corpus Joannicum", i.e., everything that the Apostle John wrote for a comparative study of his Gospel in connection with his epistles and Revelation)
four gospel
- The word "gospel" in Greek means "good news". This is how our Lord Jesus Christ Himself called his teaching (Matthew 24:14; 26:13; Mark 1:15; 13:10; 19:; 16:15). Therefore, for us, the "gospel" is inextricably linked with Him: it is the "good news" of salvation given to the world through the incarnate Son of God. Christ and His apostles preached the gospel without writing it down. By the middle of the 1st century, this sermon was fixed by the Church in a persistent oral tradition. The Eastern custom of memorizing sayings, stories, and even large texts helped the Christians of the apostolic age to accurately preserve the unwritten First Gospel. After the 1950s, when eyewitnesses to Christ's earthly ministry began to pass away one by one, the need arose to record the gospel (Luke 1:1). Thus, the "gospel" began to denote the narration of the teachings of the Savior recorded by the apostles. It was read at prayer meetings and in preparing people for baptism.
- The most important Christian centers of the 1st c. (Jerusalem, Antioch, Rome, Ephesus, etc.) had their own gospels. Of these, only four (Mt, Mk, Lk, Jn) are recognized by the Church as inspired by God, that is, written under the direct influence of the Holy Spirit. They are called "from Matthew", "from Mark", etc. (the Greek kata corresponds to the Russian "according to Matthew", "according to Mark", etc.), because the life and teachings of Christ are set forth in these books by these four priests. Their gospels were not brought together in one book, which made it possible to see the gospel story from different points of view. In the II century. St. Irenaeus of Lyon calls the evangelists by name and points to their gospels as the only canonical ones (Against Heresies, 2, 28, 2). A contemporary of St. Irenaeus Tatian made the first attempt to create a single gospel narrative, composed of various texts of the four gospels, the Diatessaron, i.e., the gospel of the four.
- The apostles did not set themselves the goal of creating a historical work in the modern sense of the word. They sought to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ, helped people to believe in Him, correctly understand and fulfill His commandments. The testimonies of the evangelists do not coincide in all details, which proves their independence from each other: the testimonies of eyewitnesses are always individual in color. The Holy Spirit does not certify the accuracy of the details of the facts described in the gospel, but the spiritual meaning contained in them.
The minor contradictions encountered in the presentation of the evangelists are explained by the fact that God gave the clergymen complete freedom in conveying certain specific facts in relation to different categories of listeners, which further emphasizes the unity of meaning and direction of all four gospels.

- Which verse of the text expresses the main idea? (Such “key verses” should be memorized by reading them aloud several times Knowing the verses by heart will allow you to meditate on important spiritual truths during the day, for example, when you are standing in line or riding in public transport, etc. Is there a promise I can claim to keep? d How can I benefit from accepting the truth in the text? Avoid general and vague statements Try to be as clear and specific as possible In your notebook, write how and when you will use the teaching of this or that paragraph or chapter in your life)
- End with prayer Ask God to give you the inner spiritual strength to draw closer to Him this day Keep talking to God throughout the day His presence will help you be strong in any situation
Answer: Here are some reasons why God gave us four gospels instead of one:
1. Uncover a more complete picture of Christ. The Bible is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16), He used human authors with different qualities to fulfill His purposes through their writings. Each of the gospel writers had a different purpose, and in fulfilling it they emphasized different aspects of the person and ministry of Jesus Christ.
Matthew was writing for a Jewish audience, and one of his goals was to show from Jesus' genealogy and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy that He was the long-awaited Messiah and therefore deserving of their trust. Matthew emphasized that Jesus was the promised King, the “Son of David,” who would sit on the throne of Israel forever (Matthew 9:27; 21:9).
Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10), witnessed events in the life of Christ, and was also a friend of the apostle Peter. Mark wrote for a Gentile audience, which is evident in the fact that he does not mention things that are important to Jewish readers (genealogies, Christ's disagreements with the Jewish leaders of His time, frequent references to the Old Testament, etc.). Mark emphasizes the role of Christ as the suffering Servant who came into the world not to be served, but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for others (Mark 10:45).
Luke, "the beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14), evangelist and companion of the apostle Paul, wrote both the Gospel and the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Luke is the only pagan writer of all New Testament writers. He has always been regarded as a meticulous historian among those who use his records in geological or historical research. And as a historian, he claims that his intention was to write about the entire life of Christ in order, based on eyewitness accounts (Luke 1:1-4). Since he wrote specifically for Theophilus, apparently a pagan of a certain status, his gospel was composed for a pagan audience. Luke's intention was to show that the Christian faith is based on events that are historically reliable and verifiable. Luke often speaks of Christ as the "Son of Man", emphasizing His human nature. In addition, he describes many details that are not found in other gospels.
The fourth gospel, written by the apostle John, differs from the previous three gospels and contains more theological reflections in relation to the person of Christ and the meaning of faith. The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the "synoptic (or summary) gospels" because they provide an overview of the life of Christ and are similar in writing style and content. The gospel of John begins not with the birth of Jesus or His ministry on earth, but with the activities and characteristics of the Son of God even before He became a man (John 1:14). The gospel of John emphasizes the divinity of Christ, as can be seen from his use of phrases such as "The Word was God" (John 1:1), "Savior of the world" (4:42), "Son of God" (used many times) and " Lord and God" (20:28). The Gospel of John also mentions that Jesus Himself affirmed His divinity with several "I am." The most notable of these is John 8:58, where He says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (compare Exodus 3:13-14). But John also points out the fact of the human nature of Jesus, wishing to show the fallacy of the teaching of the religious sect of his day, the Gnostics, who did not believe in it. The Gospel states the general purpose of its writing: “Jesus did many things before His disciples and other miracles, which are not written in this book. But these things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:30-31).
Thus, in four different and, at the same time, accurate descriptions of Christ, various aspects of His personality and ministry are revealed. Each description becomes like a thread of a different color in a fabric sewn together to create a complete portrait of the One Who is beyond description. And although we will never fully understand everything about Jesus Christ (John 20:30), we can learn enough about Him from the four Gospels to appreciate who He is and what He has done for us so that through faith in Him we can have eternal life. life.
2. To give us the opportunity to objectively verify the truth of the records of the evangelists. The Bible teaches from the very beginning that the decision of a court against a person should be based on the testimony of not one eyewitness, but two or three, at a minimum (Deuteronomy 19:15). With various descriptions of the person and ministry of Jesus Christ on earth, we can appreciate the accuracy of the information we have.
Simon Greenleaf, the well-known and widely recognized authority on the reliability of evidence in court, studied the four gospels from a legal standpoint. He noted that, in terms of their type, the eyewitness accounts given in the four gospels - testimonies that coincide, but at the same time differ from each other in the presence or absence of some details - can be considered reliable, independent sources, and be accepted in court as convincing evidence. If all the Gospels contained exactly the same information with the same details, written from the same perspective, then this would indicate collusion, that is, that their authors agreed in advance to compose the same stories in order to create an appearance of reliability. Differences between the Gospels, and sometimes, at first glance, even obvious inconsistencies in detail, speak of the independent nature of what is written. Thus, the nature of the four gospels, which are similar in information but differ in perspective, amount of detail, and recorded events, indicates that the information we have about the life and ministry of Christ is factually reliable and reliable.
3. Reward diligent seekers. Much can be learned by studying each of the gospels individually. But more can be discovered by comparing the various references to individual events in Jesus' ministry. For example, in chapter 14. Matthew mentions feeding 5,000 people and Jesus walking on water. Mathew 14:22 says, “And immediately Jesus bade His disciples get into the boat, and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the people away.” One may ask why He did this? There is no obvious explanation for this in Matthew's writings. But when we compare this with the writings of Mark in chapter 6, we see that the day before the disciples returned after casting out the demons and healing the people with the power given to them by Christ when He sent them out two by two. But they returned to a high opinion of themselves, forgetting their place and believing that they were now able to give directions to Him (Matthew 14:15). Thus, in sending them to the other side of the Sea of Galilee in the evening, Jesus wanted to reveal to them two truths. When, in their arrogance, they struggled with the wind and waves until early morning (Mark 6:48-50), they began to understand that, firstly, they could not do anything for God on their own and, secondly, there was no nothing is impossible if they call on Him and agree to be dependent on His power. There are many passages containing similar "treasures" that can be found by diligent students of the Word of God who take the time to compare one passage of Scripture with another.
Bible- this book, which became the basis of several world religions, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Scripture passages have been translated into 2,062 languages, representing 95 percent of the world's languages, with 337 languages that can be read in their entirety.
The Bible has influenced the way of life and worldview of people from all continents. And it doesn't matter whether you believe in God or not, but as an educated person, you should know what a book is, on the texts of which the laws of morality and philanthropy are based.
The word Bible itself is translated from ancient Greek as “books” and is a collection of texts by different authors written in different languages and at different times with the assistance of the Spirit of God and at His suggestion. These writings formed the basis of the dogmatics of many religions and for the most part are considered canonical.
Word " gospel' means 'gospel'. The gospel texts describe the life of Jesus Christ on earth, his deeds and teachings, His crucifixion and resurrection. The gospel is part of the Bible, or rather the New Testament.
Structure
The Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament includes 50 scriptures, of which only 38 are recognized by the Orthodox Church as divinely inspired, that is, canonical. Among the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are four Gospels, 21 Apostolic Epistles and the Acts of the Holy Apostles.
The gospel consists of four canonical texts, with the gospel of Mark, Matthew and Luke called synoptic, and the fourth gospel of John was written somewhat later and is fundamentally different from the others, but there is an assumption that it was based on an even more ancient text.
Writing language
The Bible was written by different people for more than 1600 years, and, therefore, it combines texts in different languages. The Old Testament is predominantly written in Hebrew, but there are also writings in Aramaic. The New Testament was written primarily in ancient Greek.
The gospel is written in Greek. However, one should not confuse that Greek not only with the modern language, but also with the one in which the best works of antiquity were written. This language was close to the ancient Attic dialect and was called the "Koine dialect".
Time of writing
In fact, today it is difficult to define not only a decade, but also a century of writing the Holy Books.
So the earliest gospel manuscripts date back to the second or third centuries CE, but there is evidence that the evangelists whose names appear under the texts lived in the first century. There is no evidence that the manuscripts were written at this time, except for a few quotations in texts dated to the end of the first - the beginning of the second centuries.
With the Bible, the question is simpler. It is believed that the Old Testament was written in the period from 1513 BC to 443 BC, and the New Testament from 41 AD to 98 AD. Thus, it took not only one year or a decade, but more than one and a half thousand years to write this great book.
Authorship
A believer, without hesitation, will answer that "The Bible is the word of God." It turns out that the author is the Lord God himself. Then where in the composition of the Bible, say, the Wisdom of Solomon or the Book of Job? It turns out the author is not alone? It is assumed that the Bible was written by ordinary people: philosophers, tillers, soldiers and shepherds, doctors and even kings. But these people had a special divine inspiration. They did not express their own thoughts, but simply held a pencil in their hands, while the Lord moved their hand. And yet, each text has its own style of writing, it is felt that they belong to different people. Undoubtedly, they can be called authors, but still they had God himself as co-authors.
The authorship of the Gospel for a long time no one doubted. It was believed that the texts were written by four Evangelists, whose names are known to everyone: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In fact, it is impossible to name them with full certainty as their authors. It is only known for certain that all the actions described in these texts did not take place with the personal testimony of the evangelists. Most likely, this is a collection of the so-called "oral art", told by people whose names will forever remain a mystery. This is not the final point of view. Research in this area is ongoing, but today many clergy have chosen to still tell the parishioners that the gospel was written by unknown authors.
