Greek and Latin with Jerome: Reading the New Testament
Read the Greek New Testament and the Latin Vulgate side by side, word by word, with Saint Jerome: 124 passages in Bible order, each read in Greek, then Latin, then English, then taken apart word by word. Along the way you meet the 345 most common words of each New Testament, which make up more than three of every four words in it.
Chapters
Pronunciation is shown under every word: Erasmian for the Greek, and classical for the Latin (v sounds like w). Every passage was checked so that its Latin follows the same Greek text; where Latin simply says a thing its own way, Jerome points it out.
Two counters in the corner track the core words as you meet them. Names are not counted.
