2 New Testament Organization
3 Testament = Covenant (see BD, Covenant ) Jeremiah 31:31-33 Hebrews 8 3 Nephi 15:2-10 New Testament
4 Gospels (JST Testimonies w/matthew and John) Acts of the Apostles (Peter and Paul) Pauline Epistles General Epistles Revelation Books of the NT
5 New Testament Transmission
6 Joseph Smith We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly (A of F 8). There is a grand distinction between the actual meaning of the prophets and the present translation (TPJS 291). I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors (TPJS 327).

23 Date and Place Irenaeus (Against Heresies, 3.1.1) Mark wrote after Peter s death Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History ( ), quoting Clement of Alexandria: When, by the Spirit, Peter had publicly proclaimed the Gospel in Rome, his many hearers urged Mark, as one who had followed him for years and remembered what was said, to put it all in writing. This he did and gave copies to all who asked. When Peter learned of it, he neither objected nor promoted it. Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History ( ), quoting Papias: Mark became Peter s interpreter and wrote down accurately, but not in order, all that [Peter] remembered of the things said and done by the Lord. For [Mark] had not heard the Lord or been one of his followers, but later, as I said, a follower of Peter. Peter used to teach as the occasion demanded, without giving systematic arrangement to the Lord s sayings.
