King James Bible

The Revelation of John, commonly known as the Apocalypse or Revelation or Book of Revelation (from ἀποκάλυψις, apokálypsis, a Greek term meaning "revelation"), is the last book of the New Testament (and therefore the last book of the Christian Bible) and is the only apocalypse in the canon of the Bible, of which it is one of the most difficult texts to interpret.

The Apocalypse belongs to the group of New Testament writings known as "Johannine literature," since it was written, if not by the apostle himself, in the circles that referred to him and his teaching.

Of 404 verses, 278 contain at least one Old Testament quotation. The books that are believed to have most influenced Revelation are the books of the Prophets, primarily Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Zechariah and also the Book of Psalms and Exodus.

The Epistle of Jude, with its one chapter, is among the shortest writings in the New Testament and the last of the Catholic epistles. The author is Jude, brother of James.

The letter is a call to fight for the right Christian faith and a warning to the Church against those false teachers who "abuse the grace of our God for secession." The letter is characterized by sharp condemnations of these false teachers and picturesque descriptions of the judgment against them. The text makes frequent use of images, narratives and metaphors drawn particularly from the Old Testament and other Hebrew literature.

The third epistle of John is the third of John's epistles in the New Testament. It is the second shortest book in the entire Christian Bible, after the second of John.

The letter appears addressed to a man named Gaius (or Gaius) but it is not known exactly if it is the same person who lived in Macedonia and who is quoted in Acts 19:29 or the Corinthian mentioned in Romans 16:23 or the one who lived in Derbe, quoted in Acts 20:4.

It was written for the purpose of commending Gaius to a group of Christians led by Demetrius, who were strangers in the place where he lived and who had the mission to preach the gospel 3John 7. They had been refused hospitality by a local Christian chieftain, Diotrephes.

The Letter of James is one of the Catholic letters (in the sense of "universal letters") of the New Testament, written by James the Just and dated around 50.

The short letter, believed to be addressed to the twelve tribes of Israel, is most likely a homily that then, because of the richness of its contents, began to circulate among the early Christian communities to be read in the assemblies.

The Letter to the Hebrews is a work included in the New Testament, in which the profile and mission of Jesus are outlined through comparison with the figure of the high priest in the Old Testament.

Its literary genre is much discussed. Much more than a letter or a homily, the text turns out to be a "treatise for Christians of Jewish and ethnic origin now Hellenized."
