John 1 GREEK New Testament

[oiseaudeproie]

Very moving. I like the speaker's accent, just like my Greek prefessor's.

[CellphoneTL]

It is good to go back to the Greek and Hebrew so that we can get a better understanding of the culture that the passage was written in. It helps us understand God's Word even better

@aforetaste

i recommend you consider aramaic praimacy.

@phil4508

[phil4508]

greek...not latin...

[phil4508]

please dump the music...

[NousChristou]

Where do you think the KJV came from? It was 70-80% based on Tyndale's work which itself was from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts. How long before discuss turns into disgust and debate into hate. Really, Christians have far more in common than in difference and we are about to be overcome. Small talk and bickering over versions will soon bring us down!

[ILoadng]

the way he is pronouncing the words, its not Greek

[mrmark262]

The King James Bible 1611 does away with this John 1 Greek New Testament..This John 1 Greek New Testament is embracing Wescott and Hort and not in line with the early Christian church or early believers.

[evilmick66]

Is this modern Greek or Koine Greek?

[mrmark262]

Like i said......everyone learn the (((English))) language and stop going to the "Greek"

[evilmick66]

@mrmark262 The new testament was originally written in Koine Greek. By reading a translation, the reader misses the subtleties and nuances of the speech, causing many concepts and ideas to be lost in translation without proper footnotes. The original material will always be superior to a translation no matter what the text or medium.

[mrmark262]

@evilmick66 (((not true))) what so called bible teacher of person told you that? The English language is much deeper and more advanced than the Greek language my friend!! God is not using the Greek language anymore or trying to get His children back to Greek!! English is now the universal language and the King James Bible is the standard and only English Bible that man can get the complete meaning of Scripture. I was led many years to believe that we need to go to the "original."

[mrmark262]

@evilmick66 The sad truth is that everytime we hear a pastor or bible teacher tell us that in the original this passage really means this. When will people ever wake up to that nonsense of "in the original?" The so called original is gone and not in print today!! God promised that he would keep his word...Psalm 12:6,7.

[mrmark262]

This Greek New Testament is a fake and sinful Greek New Testament!!!

[mrmark262]

We need to understand Greek like we need a hole in the head......get real people!! Stick with the English bible (King James 1769).

[celticqueen0206]

@mrmark262 - You're a moron.

[mrmark262]

@celticqueen0206 You're a (((bigger))) moron!!!

I personally do not sweat the pronunciation; not to many people agree on it anyway; and, it is after all a "dead" language (helloo).

Jump into it and emerse your self in it...start reading. Greek English Interlinear works good with a reduced Grammar, take on the concepts as you encounter them.

Would make sense to start with the Homeric (Epic) dialect, Attic, Koine.

Are you engaged, interested, passionate about it, is it meaningful and do you have appetite for it ? Debate phonetics later.

[97448able]

I like this. I have been diverted; and happily so, learning Sanskrit..."Sky Gods" as some of you put it (get original, please). You think Greek is tough ? strap on Sanskrit. I have also got a dash of Avestan under my belt.

Pronunciation here is adequate for my purposes...original accent was tonal not stress. Plato, Heraclitus and the rest of the ancient ones would not understand a word of this; or, what comes out of your mouth anyway...damn some of you are picky. Tad full of ("it") yourselves.

[NousChristou]

I really like the meter and the background music. Very pretty! I will add music to my own recitals.

[bobo12345098]

The whole passage was with a gay American accent, the way he says it is lke a different language from Greek

[corkystorky]

you said you're reading from the Nestle-Aland 26th edition, but you seem to had forgotten that the stress for pronunciation was already included there. And neither were you reading it in Erasmian nor Modern Greek pronunciation. But thanks for posting anyway.

[GREdimitraki12]

sry but the whole passage is pronounced wrong. 

[Komnenit]

Koiné is so beautiful...it should still be spoken in Greece instead of modern greek :)

[1025kenloach]

Thank you very much for posting.

[tubalador]

Regarding vocabulary, Plutarch and Josephus definitely are not pure Attics but wrote in the same Koine(common, Universal) Greek as the NT authors(albeit a bit more polished I'd say).

There really was no chasm between vulgar and literary Koine(common) until centuries removed from the new testament(Byzantine Greek).

Excellent video!!!!!

[joshhuntnm]

Great job. Very helpful.



[YTVideoJudge]

Watch the whole Gospel of John in Greek with a Greek accent.

καλως! συ αναγιγνωσκεις μαλιστα καλως. σαφως και δηλως συ λεγεις. ευκοπον εστιν το καταλαμβανειν σε. αγαπω την προφοραν σου. ευχαριστω σοι ποιησαντι ταυτην την κινηματογραφην.

[Aeschylus]

Ho logas? Ton thean? Anthropas? Tou fotas?

[SupernautG]

This is horrible. It is Greek with a heavy American English accent. Why not get a modern greek reader t o read it in Koine Greek. The accent of this is horrible.

[gingernutpreacher]

@SupernautG i agrea and i dont know much konie Greek if you find a vid that does it propely would you let me know please

[SupernautG]

@gingernutpreacher I can't find any Greek reading of the New Testament outright on Youtube - I am sure it's there. But if you want to listen to what Greek Koine sounds like look up a Greek Orthodox choir singing it. They liturgy is usually a selected reading of the New Testament set to choral song. /watch?v=NRB2VUVH-bk
