Romans 3:23-24 in the New International Version (NIV) of the Holy Bible tells us that "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

"For most of his trials, he said nothing: when he did speak, he was little short of offensive to those who had his life in their hands," (Clarke 72). Jesus responded this way to Annas (Gorman 96).

The Origin of Christmas is presented beautifully in the well-known Biblical account of Luke: "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

... Testament. It appears to me that readers recognized Matthew as an inspired writer and respected his personal interpretation of Jewish Scripture. After all, Matthew is a gospel, or "good news," not a biography of Jesus. The book of Luke also tells the "good news" of Jesus. However, Luke uses a chronological Greco-Roman approach to his writing. Luke does not begin with a genealogy like ... Theophilus is a Roman administrative official, whereas believe the literal Greek translation "lover of God" was used as code for early Christians.

The Bible has manuscript support from twenty four thousand copies made, compared to, for example, the works of Caesar, which had only ten copies (McDowell, 1990).
