Paul and Greek

[TripleZ]

Act 18:1 After this, Sha'ul left Athens and went to Corinth,
Act 18:2 where he met a Jewish man named Aquila, originally from Pontus but having recently come with his wife Priscilla from Italy, because Claudius had issued a decree expelling all the Jews from Rome. Sha'ul went to see them;
Act 18:3 and because he had the same trade as they, making tents, he stayed on with them; and they worked together.
Act 18:4 Sha'ul also began carrying on discussions every Shabbat in the synagogue, where he tried to convince both Jews and Greeks.
Act 18:5 But after Sila and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Sha'ul felt pressed by the urgency of the message and testified in depth to the Jews that Yeshua is the Messiah.
Act 18:6 However when they set themselves against him and began hurling insults, he shook out his clothes and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! For my part, I am clean; from now on, I will go to the Goyim!"
Act 18:7 So he left them and went into the home of a "God-fearer" named Titius Justus, whose house was right next door to the synagogue.
Act 18:8 Crispus, the president of the synagogue, came to trust in the Lord, along with his whole household; also many of the Corinthians who heard trusted and were immersed.
Act 18:9 One night, in a vision, the Lord said to Sha'ul, "Don't be afraid, but speak right up, and don't stop,
Act 18:10 because I am with you. No one will succeed in harming you, for I have many people in this city."
Act 18:11 So Sha'ul stayed there for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
Act 18:12 But when Gallio became the Roman governor of Achaia, the unbelieving Jews made a concerted attack on Sha'ul and took him to court,
Act 18:13 saying, "This man is trying to persuade people to worship God in ways that violate the Torah."
Act 18:14 Sha'ul was just about to open his mouth, when Gallio said to the Jews, "Listen, you Jews, if this were a case of inflicted injury or a serious crime, I could reasonably be expected to hear you out patiently.
Act 18:15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law, then you must deal with it yourselves. I flatly refuse to judge such matters."
Act 18:16 And he had them ejected from the court.
Act 18:17 They all grabbed Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, and gave him a beating in full view of the bench; but Gallio showed no concern whatever.
Act 18:18 Sha'ul remained for some time, then said good-bye to the brothers and sailed off to Syria, after having his hair cut short in Cenchrea, because he had taken a vow; with him were Priscilla and Aquila.
Act 18:19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and held dialogue with the Jews.
Act 18:20 When they asked him to stay with them longer, he declined;
Act 18:21 however, in his farewell he said, "God willing, I will come back to you." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
Act 18:22 After landing at Caesarea, he went up to Yerushalayim and greeted the Messianic community. Then he came down to Antioch,
Act 18:23 spent some time there, and afterwards set out and passed systematically through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the talmidim.
Act 18:24 Meanwhile, a Jewish man named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent speaker with a thorough knowledge of the Tanakh.
Act 18:25 This man had been informed about the Way of the Lord, and with great spiritual fervor he spoke and taught accurately the facts about Yeshua, but he knew only the immersion of Yochanan.
Act 18:26 He began to speak out boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the Way of God in fuller detail.
Act 18:27 When he made plans to cross over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote the talmidim there to welcome him. On arrival, he greatly helped those who through grace had come to trust;
Act 18:28 for he powerfully and conclusively refuted the unbelieving Jews in public, demonstrating by the Tanakh that Yeshua is the Messiah.


, look above, we read hwo Paul was preaching to the Greeks who had supposedly already written down IN GREEK what Paul was preaching to them,,,ie the Greeks wrote the " lesson " Paul already before hearing it form Paul..BTW Paul was teaching the JEWS also yet no one believe that the NT Letters to the Church could have been written also in Hebrew. Why the difference ?

Preach to the Greeks, then written in Greek ?
Preach to the Jews, then written in ???? ???? of course ?

It seems all the Christian bible was written in Greek (which was the common spoken language of the time, even for the Jews) although there is indication that Matthew's gospel was initially penned in Hebrew and later translated.

All the Christian bibles I am familiar with include the Old Testament. The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew with some passages being written in Aramaic.

Does your bible not include the Old Testament?

When I referred to "the Christian bible" I am referring to The Christian Greek Scriptures, ie the "New Testament".
