Verses are usually arranged with small numbers within the text. Some Bibles are formed into paragraphs and only have the number of the verse that begins each paragraph. The first part of the Bible is called the Old Testament (Tanakh – Jewish) Bible of the “books of Moses” and other ancient prophets’ writings and second the New Testament of Christian books starting with the four Gospels of Christ written by Christian Jews – and as many as fourteen (or as few as seven, some say) books all ascribed to one Greek Jew, the Apostle [Saint] Paul (born Saul of Tarsus), more on his contributions to the Bible Christianity in the “Tips” section.
