The Old Testament (often abbreviated OT) is the first division of the Christian biblical canon, which is based primarily upon the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of ancient religious Hebrew writings by the Israelites believed by most Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God.
The New Testament (NT) is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity.

Today's Verse
And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him. For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
Verse Of The DayBecause these fourteen books appeared in the original 1611 printing but were later removed from most editions, the KJVA offers a fuller picture of that year's text than a standard American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV) reading. Follow familiar passages such as Psalms (KJVA) before exploring the restored Apocryphal section.
