The Greek New Testament

The New Testament in the original Greek. The text revised by Brooke Foss Westcott, D.D., and Fenton John Anthony Hort, D.D. New York. Harper & Brothers, Franklin Square (1885).

Brooke Foss Westcott (1825–1901) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828–1892) were prominent 19th-century British biblical scholars and theologians renowned for their groundbreaking contributions to New Testament textual criticism. Together, they collaborated over 28 years to produce The New Testament in the Original Greek, a critical edition first published in two volumes in 1881 and 1882, which sought to reconstruct the earliest attainable form of the Greek text based on rigorous manuscript analysis.

The New Testament (Ἡ Καινὴ Διαθήκη) is the second principal division of the Christian Bible, consisting of 27 books composed primarily in Koine Greek between approximately AD 50 and AD 150, which serve as the foundational scriptures for Christianity alongside the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).

The Gospel According to Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew (Κατά Μαθθαῖον Ευαγγέλιον) is the first of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament, offering a narrative of the birth, ministry, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, whom it presents as the promised Messiah of Israel, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the inaugurator of the Kingdom of Heaven. It emphasizes Jesus' identity as a new Moses-like teacher who intensifies the demands of the Torah while remaining faithful to Jewish law, and it traces the extension of God's saving work from Israel to all nations.
