1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,400
Now we will start our second lesson, which 
is about the New Testament

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,800
The New Testament is divided slightly differently 
from the Old Testament,

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,800
however, they also have some similarities

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,000
for example, you will see here Historical 
book

5
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:17,100
you will also see Prophetic book

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,600
What also happens there in the Old Testament, 
right?!

7
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:25,000
Well, the most important division that we 
have in the New Testament

8
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:28,500
is Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,900
those are what we know as the Gospel

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,100
also called Biographical books

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,000
Why biographical?

12
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,100
Because they talk about the biography, the 
life story of Jesus

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,600
but, within that division, there is a subdivision

14
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,500
and what kind of division would that be?

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,700
These first three books: Matthew, Mark and 
Luke,

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,700
they are called synoptic Gospels

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,000
that is, they look at Christ from the same 
point of view

18
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,500
from the same perspective

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,400
portraying more deeply as to that boy who 
was born,

20
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:10,400
his life story, the trajectory of Jesus as 
the son of man

21
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,100
But John, he gives more emphasis, a little 
differently,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,800
the sequence of the narrative also doesn’t 
correspond as much as

23
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:21,300
in Matthew, Mark and Luke

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,900
When you read Matthew, Mark and Luke

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,100
it may seem like you’re rereading the same 
book

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200
because the narratives are very similar

27
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:32,600
but John’s narrative is different.

28
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,500
John focuses more on miracles, on signs

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,100
And he starts: “In the beginning was the 
Word,

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,500
and the Word was with God, and the Word was 
God ”. (John 1:1)

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,000
He says: “all things were made by him;

32
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,300
and without him was not any thing made that 
was made”.

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,600
In verse 14 he says: and the Word, this Word 
that was with God, and is God,

34
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:00,600
He was made flesh, and lived among us

35
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,100
That is, John emphasizes the divinity of 
Christ

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200
more than his on work,

37
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:09,800
that he came to do here personally, as a 
man,

38
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,100
his suffering, the humiliations he went through.

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,600
This is what sets John's Gospel apart from 
the synoptic Gospels,

40
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:21,900
which are those that portray Jesus from the 
same perspective, from the same point of 
view.

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,900
However, John is also a Gospel and he also 
tells the story of Jesus.

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,700
Then we have a very small section here

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,900
that you can see here, it’s the book of Acts

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
it is considered the only historical book,

45
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,200
the only book essentially historical in the 
New Testament

46
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:39,900
Although here they also tell Jesus' life 
story,

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,500
because they're part of what is called the 
Gospels, or even Biographical books,

48
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,100
the Historical book section only begins with 
the book of Acts

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,200
It could be called Acts of the Apostles, 
or Acts of the Church, or even Acts of the 
Holy Spirit,

50
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,600
Because starting from this book the Church 
begins to develop, to grow, to bear fruit,

51
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,700
after the baptism in the Holy Spirit, in 
Acts, Chapter 2,

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,700
in which the body is formed between Jews 
and Gentiles.

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,400
What we know today as the Church

54
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,000
it is nothing more than the congregation 
of saints.

55
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:16,600
Well, here we have, in red, a section of 
books

56
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:19,900
these are actually letters.

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,700
They are not books, these are letters that 
apostle Paul wrote to the Romans,

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,300
he also writes to the Corinthians, okay?!

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,900
You can see here two letters that we have 
in hand:

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,300
the First letter to the Corinthians, the 
Second letter to the Corinthians.

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,200
We also have the letter to the Galatians, 
to the Ephesians, to the Philippians,

62
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:44,200
to the Colossians, to the Thessalonians (two 
letters to the Thessalonians),

63
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,800
two letters to his disciple Timothy,

64
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,400
to Titus, another disciple of Paul, to Philemon,

65
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,800
and, finally, to the Hebrews.

66
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,500
The letter Paul writes to the Hebrews,

67
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800
clearly, should have been written in Hebrew

68
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,900
Why [am I mentioning this]? Because the New 
Testament was written in Greek,

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,900
koine Greek, a common language at the time,

70
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,500
but the letter he writes to the Hebrews, 
certainly, should be written in Hebrew.

71
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,900
However, after you've done a lot of research, 
you'll understand

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,500
why I'm saying that it is a Pauline epistle, 
okay?!

73
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Later I will prepare a lesson to explain

74
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,100
about the authorship of Paul to the Hebrews

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,600
But the main point is this:

76
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,600
there is the idea that Paul wrote it in Hebrew,

77
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,200
but who translated it into Greek was Luke, 
ok?!

78
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:36,600
Here we have another group of epistles, which 
are not part of the Pauline epistles,

79
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:43,200
they are General Epistles, also known in 
Theology as Universal Epistles.

80
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:53,500
James, one letter, two letters of Peter: 
First and Second letters of Peter,

81
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,700
First, Second and Third [letters] of John

82
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,200
and the letter of Judas, this is not Judas 
Iscariot.

83
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:08,400
Finally, we have the only book considered 
essentially Prophetic in the New Testament,

84
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:12,700
which is the book of Revelation.

85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,500
Slowly we develop the study,

86
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,300
this is just a presentation about biblical 
contents,

87
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,800
it is important for you to understand how 
the books are divided, to know who wrote 
them,

88
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:26,400
so that you can observe the way they addressed 
the Church,

89
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:31,400
the way they expressed themselves when greeting,

90
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,400
when saying “goodbye” to the Church, and 
how each one of them used to do it.

91
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,300
Paul had something peculiar that differentiated 
him from the others.

92
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,100
You will also see that Revelation is a very 
rich book,

93
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,200
but it is impossible to understand Revelation 
without Daniel, for example,

94
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,800
without Zechariah, which are part of the 
Old Testament.

95
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:54,100
That is why the Bible is one book as a whole, 
it is connected from beginning to the end.

96
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Genesis reveals that God created the heavens 
and the earth,

97
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:01,200
Revelation reveals that John saw a new heaven 
and a new earth.

98
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:03,700
This is brilliant, such a beautiful thing 
from God!

99
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,900
So I hope that during these classes you will 
learn a lot.

100
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,700
Pray for us, and may God bless your life! 
Amen?!
