The New Testament books were originally written in Koine Greek. Below is part of a passage from the New Testament - [[John 1:1]]* {{Bible verse|John|1|1|lang=Greek}}* Translation: ''{{Bible verse|John|1|1|lang=WEB}}''s a vandalism time! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

Koine Greek spread throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East as a result of the conquests of the Greek armies of Alexander the Great. It served as a second language for many people and had become the language of communication throughout much of the Roman Empire and beyond by the time of Jesus. It retained its role as the lingua franca until the Middle Ages.
