This episode is a discussion about the early translations of the second part of the Christian scriptures, The first translations (usually called "versions") of the New Testament were made beginning already at the end of the 2nd century. The earliest versions of the New Testament are the translations into the Syriac, Latin, and Coptic languages. These three versions were made directly from the Greek, later Monks, and Scholars in the early Christian Monasteries Copied it to further earlier translated versions that were retrieved and preserved in Museums and Universities and are frequently cited in the apparatuses of modern critical editions.
