Thank you so much. I am a linguist and taught myself a few basics using a brief grammatical explanation that was in the back of an interlinear version of a New Testament from a certain religious group that I had been involved with and that I knew wasn't adding up. Using their own material, I translated some of the Greek text and I noticed that they had mistranslated their own bible quite seriously so I got straight out of the cult. It took for me to read the scriptures in Greek to do this, but thank you Lord! I now want to really learn it thoroughly and translate it properly. No bible should ever contradict itself and I have noticed that some versions can do this.
When I was a seminary student in the 60's I studied the Greek new testament. I passed the examination along with necessary biblical studies would enhance my preaching. It's been 50 years or so since. I need a refresher course. I need to stay on top of my game in preaching the gospel!!!!
May God abundantly bless you and your family for your dedication to doing God's work of reaching the lost with the gospel and biblical teachings. God bless again 🙏 in The Precious Name Jesus Christ 🙏
Good vlog fella, keep it up! I wonder where the saying came from "its all Greek to me! Some sources say that this expression originates from the notations of Medieval scribes copying Latin text who, if faced with a quote in Greek (or maybe other languages) they could not translate, would write Graecum est, non legitur or Graecum est, non potest legi-It is Greek; it cannot be read. Although Shakespeare did not coin "it's all Greek to me" (as it's found in an English translation of an Italian play decades earlier), we owe its popularity to his 1599 play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar: Cassius: Did Cicero say any thing? Casca: Ay, he spoke Greek. Cassius: To what effect? Casca: Nay, an I tell you that, I'll ne'er look you i' the face again: but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me. I could tell you more news too: Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs off Caesar's images, are put to silence. Fare you well. There was more foolery yet, if I could remember it. If English speakers say "it's all Greek to me," what do they say in Greece and other countries?
Your generosity is highly appreciated brother! Very few individuals who posted their videos have done that!!! Keep it that way because there are a lot of people especially from the 3rd world countries are starving to know & learn but are not able because they lack resources and sources to find... Keep up the good work bro and make it an extension of your ministry!
Elsewhere you asked readers to say which were their most favoured NT Greek introductions. My favoured grammars prior to 2020 were Ward Powers Learn to read NT Greek Eric Jay David Alan Black. I had started with an older primer, then got Crosby and Schaeffer) and then Machen. In semnary we used Kubo, which I longed for more content. After the fertile production of the past couple of yours, I like Fred Decker Rob Plummer and ____ Sdhwandt Harris Ward Powers
One very useful resource for me has been Bill Mounce's Greek Verse of the Day videos here on youtube. Very handy way to get a little piece of greek instruction from a talented and respected greek expert every day. Especially recommend it to those who have only one year of formal greek instruction and want to keep up/refine our skills
Will see if I can resurrect what I have lost from some 35 years ago! I took 3 semesters of it, and Greek was making the Word 3 dimensional. Then I got married, joined the Air Force...Hope I can still learn with this tired old mind!
THIS IS SO COOL! You sale classes and training, but you're still helping fellow Christians learn the ancient text for free. Thank! I'm in my 40s and have been a long time believer. How would someone in my late years go about formally learning ancient greek and hebrew. Even to the point were I could work and participate with services like yours and other company's that teach translations? Should I try and get a Doctorate in ancient Greek studies? This idea just came to me today. I am often frustrated with the bible translations. Thanks you for what you do.
Hi Chuck, I recommend our free getting started series which will answer this question for you. You certainly don't need to get a doctorate. We can get you started and take you as far as you want to go! Check it out at bma.to/getstarted. I look forward to serving you!
@@bma I will definitely check out your service and I appreciate the free resource. Would I actually be able to use the completion of your course to do some professional in the field of translation? Work with a an internet bible company or get hired by a church or any kind of job?
Very informative Darryl. I love that you promote free resources even though you running paid teaching program. It shows great integrity in your desire to help people learn. My favourite free resource is gntreader which you mentioned. Greek text, built in lexicon and parsing helps all rolled into one. As you say though, I use it as a tool to check only after attempting to read first.
You mention the importance of having a community. Are there any online communities? In addition to Mounce’s lectures, I also really like Plummer’s lectures at Daily Dose of Greek.
So I found a method for learning on my own. It is a method called Assimil. With a book and the recording. The book have the grammar and the vocabulary. On the left page you have the text on the right page you have the translation. You need to repeat the sentences without looking at the text. There are explanations of the grammar.
Thank you for all the resources. I also like Ted Hildebrandt's "Learn New Testament Greek" course that is found online for free (used to be on CD-ROM). I also use the audio by Maurice Robinson to listen and follow along in the Byzantine Text, both text and audio are free online.
Hi praise the lord. I am theologian . So I have Greek subject . I am very week in it. By the grace of God I finished b.th going to do m.div . So please help me . Thank u so much for this video. I hope u will help me to the question that I ask .thank u so much.may good God bless you abundantly and use u more for his kingdom expansion.
Thank you for this introduction. I'm going into semi-retirement and am just beginning to study Classical and Koine Greek as a student. If you are interested, I would like to send you a copy of my book (free) in gratitude for your hard work.
Great info! You are inspiring me to get back to studying Greek! :) Yes Biblical training has some great free courses. Dr Dan Wallace has a free course on Textual Criticism also. God Bless 3 John 2
One of the most confusing word in the Greek is Revelations 1:13, that King James interpreted as paps. And it is mastois also used by Luke in 11:27, And 23:29, where it is spelled mastoi, said to be from 3149, in astrong's Concordance of the Bible which I studied since 1990. Also have The Septaugint as well. So I'm spells it including Luke's and 3 other ways, maston, mastous, and masto. For a woman's breaets is John seeing Galatians 3:28, literal and not a metaphor. As with 1st. Cor. 11:3-16,as well.
May i suggest to everyone interested , to start with the todays modern Greek that are way easier, and then advance to to Biblical or Koine Greek .. these are not as far apart as someone could imagine ... cheers and happy learning
Hey Dionysis! I appreciate this comment, but there are pros and cons of doing this. Yes, it is a great way to simply read, but typically using modern Greek and going to Koine doesn't help people learn the grammar. If that isn't an issue, then no problem. But for many who want to read the New Testament, learning the grammar allows them to really dig deeper into the New Testament, greatly enabling study of the Bible. Thanks for your comment!
I have a question , I’ve seen that theres a book bill mounce made that goes along with the explanatory videos that you put in your description but Which book is it because I’ve seen variations of it and I don’t know which one is the only one that goes with his videos .( if you can send me a link to where I can purchase that book).
Thank you very much for all the info. The link to the Machen pdf is missing page 4 and 5. I searched for one and half hours but could not find another source. If you happen to find one, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

Thank you very much for all this information you give ! I am just an amateur but I like to listen to the greek orthodox man, maybe a priest, who reads aloud the Koiné Majority Text with modern greek pronounciation in Anton Tasos RUclips Chanel. It's a very nice production.
Do to memory issues I am very slowly learning the words, what is a good gloss lexicon that has ALL the NT words to have alongside the Tyndale Greek NT?
Just get on thrift books get basics of biblical greek 2nd ed by bill mounce for like 6 bucks or amazon 3rd ed for 15. The workbook is about 15 dollars. And the website has all the lectures on it. Bam for about 30 bucks you can take equivalent of 2 yrs
Duolingo is great for modern languages, so you could use it to learn Modern Greek or Hebrew. But there are differences between the modern forms (particularly of Greek) and the ancient forms. So Duolingo may not be as helpful. Though I'm interested in hearing how you and others find it!
So this is really obvious and pretty much none of the foreign language learning RUclips channels mention this when talking about free resources: your public library. You can get access to a surprising amount of materials at no charge. Many libraries today also have e-reader programs so you can check out resources online.
Thanks Elliot! In the US I'm sure you're right, and therefore this is a great suggestion! I'm fairly confident that if I went to my public library the options would be very limited, but that is more a reality of living in little old New Zealand. 😉
@@bma That's also true for those who live in rural counties in the middle of the USA! I went from living in Los Angeles County, California where there were libraries (not to mention so much online) almost within walking distance wherever you lived in the Valley, to a rural area where the 1 library is far away... and I can imagine some places where they just might not exist at all.
Hahaha...."most people don't know how their own language works." My son was taking HS Spanish and would cheat off of his Honduran friend. Luckily the teacher figured out what was going on and told him basically this same thing. I took Greek back in 2007 and don't remember much past Delta, let alone read anything, but I remember getting on the elevator on the very first day and the professor got on too. During the ascent another student innocently asked how hard it was to learn to which he responded that if you can figure out English then they should have no problem with Greek. I told him that was of no comfort since that same son was in the seventh grade at the time and that I was failing seventh grade English. In all honesty I didn't even know what an article was. I got an A in the class, but don't remember much of anything anymore.
A clear case of: If you don't use it, you lose it! Just like exercise, you need to keep doing it regularly. I took German in high school and even a class in college, but with no one to converse with, I've lost almost everything I learned. OTOH, loving the Scriptures as I do, at the very least, I'll compare the English to the Greek; and for a number of years, I used to listening to my pastor go through passages verse by verse and try to look only at the Greek Text while doing so. Writing emails to family sprinkled with the Greek and doing webpages on certain topics with a lot of the Greek words and grammar in them, has helped as well.
Hi again Darryl. It's me again. For some reason I feel like I have to know Koine' Greek and answer more than a few questions in order to be saved. It's like a rabbit hole that just keeps going. Would you say that it's right thinking for me to say that," I have to read and understand at least the vital parts of the Bible (concerning Jesus and salvation) in Greek in order to believe and be saved" ?
Hey Tagnen, No you don't need to know Greek at all to be saved! The original languages provide you with greater depth, clarity and texture, but translations are just fine for following the main story and grasping the key points. Being part of a faithful church is also helpful as a faithful pastor can help you work out the details you're uncertain of. So reading in a translation is like watching a B&W TV - you can still follow the story, get the main plot points, etc, but reading the original languages is like watching the same show on a modern 8k HD TV.
Hi, hoping you could help. I am new to Greek and I am trying to understand something from a biblical perspective. What is meant by 3rd personal singular active present of the word deō? I am trying to understand this statement, “He must needs go through Samaria.” The verb is imperfect indicative active. Can you help?
I think you're referring to δεῖ. This is what is called an impersonal verb, which generally would not take "he" as the subject, but would be translated more like "it is necessary to go through Samaria" or in the imperfect some might translate it "it was necessary to go through Samaria." (I'd opt for "it is" as English can't fully capture the imperfect here.) I hope that helps.
Hey there, you can find the Hebrew-Greek Bible here: www.biblicalmastery.academy/free-hebrew-greek-bible/ The file has both Hebrew and Greek, with the Hebrew being below the Greek books. Thanks for your question!
Hi Debi, that sounds like an accusation, but I’m sure I’m misreading you here. Can you clarify your question? I’m not aware of any that do, but I could be wrong..
I just released a video about how to get started with a library in Logos which you can see here: ruclips.net/video/2F4f_rO-IGI/видео.html. If you want physical books, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/zOtkVCq12FQ/видео.html
What’s with all the subtle no money, don’t want to spend money etc “you this - that”? check your deep thought cycles and projections especially if pursuing a path as an instructor, especially in biblical instruction (James 3:1). Myself and I’m sure many other viewers are interested in learning more Greek, because. not because we are broke. God bless.
Glad to hear it. I had lots of requests for this video and it is one of the more popular videos on this channel, so lots of people want to learn Greek without committing to it financially. Thanks for watching!
Hi sir. Good day. can I ask how to say/write "The word has a beginning" in Koine Greek? I just want to know because my Unitarian friends insist that in John 1:1a John shows that the Word has a beginning. Thank you so much and God bless!
Your Unitarian friends were dropped by their mothers onto their heads. "En arche e:n ho logos"--in [the] beginning (noun!) was (actually, this is the imperfect, so a continuing action) the Word. There is no other way to read this except that the Word was existent in the beginning and continued to exist afterwards.
@junjun - “the beginning” is written by a human from a human perspective. It doesn’t include God. The point of this verse is to say God was already there.
Suppose it's written: "In the beginning was God" --could be awkward, confusing because God had no beginning. "In the beginning was the Word" --makes sense if the Word (Jesus) had a beginning. You may want to research Pr. 8:22-30 & Col. 1:15 while taking into account three verses, John 1:1-3. I understand this verse is controversial and language experts can have different opinions about it. You can contact me at brixclaire@protonmail.com. Thanks. (I'm from Surigao City.)
@@totonchua Just had to reply: No! That would not be "awkward" at all... because that's essentially what Genesis 1:1 begins with: "᾿Εν ἀρχῇ [ἐποίησεν] ὁ θεὸς" (LXX; the Bible for anyone who knew more Greek than Hebrew)... and an obvious parallel and why John started his gospel with the words: "Ἐν ἀρχῇ [ἦν] ὁ λόγος" to show that The Word was already there when God created the world (and the whole rest of the Universe too).
Intermediate New Testament Greek: A Linguistic and Exegetical Approach Book by Richard A. Young Is the above book is good for beginners? Or Kindly send me the book 📚name to begin Greek
I don't think this would be an ideal book to start with - it seems to be an intermediate grammar, not a beginning Greek grammar. I recommend Beginning with New Testament Greek which you can find on Kindle here: amzn.to/33JKIYV
Thank you ! I would like to have your roadmap pls. I am from India. I have requested through the link that you kindly provided here, but I haven’t had any response. Any technical issue? Thank you again.
So, I might just be too old to figure out how to find things but where are the actual teaching videos? Not just the videos talking about teaching and learning? Is there a list of step by step learning? So sorry not very good at this.
When will Christians stop charging OTHER Christians to expand the kingdom? Thats why many are not blessed. Imagine Jesus charging and He was the real teacher
I appreciate your feedback here. We also believe that the laborer is worthy of his wages and also that people don't tend to value what they don't pay for. We put a lot of time and energy into helping people learn, and it isn't possible without the ability to devote ourselves to the task. I don't work for an institution that provides an income for me to do this, so I have to do it myself. But we do want to support people who can't afford to pay. We have a scholarship program and we directly support missionaries and others in full time work. Reach out to us at support@masterntgreek.com and we'll see how we can help.
Now for my favorites. Online course lrc.la.utexas.edu/eieol/ntgol also try learning Lithuanian as it is closer to the background PIE language from whence Greek comes. For additional books see www.textkit.com/greek-latin-forum/viewtopic.php?t=70592 they also have forums that will help you.

Thanks,…as an unemployed disabled Vet, recovering from a home invasion, this is a God send?🤔 I had been praying for God to send the Holy Spirit down to give me a Greek reading ability impartation but I hadn’t been following Daniel’s fasting and praying regimen, or the past problem with the prince of the kingdom of Persia is acting up again, so I’ll have to actually put the work into it, sigh. 🎚🙏🏁
Thank you so much.

Is there a audio for Hebrew old testament?
I'm not sure! I haven't looked, though I'd be surprised if there wasn't!
Hahaha...."most people don't know how their own language works." My son was taking HS Spanish and would cheat off of his Honduran friend. Luckily the teacher figured out what was going on and told him basically this same thing. I took Greek back in 2007 and don't remember much past Delta, let alone read anything, but I remember getting on the elevator on the very first day and the professor got on too. During the ascent another student innocently asked how hard it was to learn to which he responded that if you can figure out English then they should have no problem with Greek. I told him that was of no comfort since that same son was in the seventh grade at the time and that I was failing seventh grade English. In all honesty I didn't even know what an article was. I got an A in the class, but don't remember much of anything anymore.
A clear case of: If you don't use it, you lose it! Just like exercise, you need to keep doing it regularly. I took German in high school and even a class in college, but with no one to converse with, I've lost almost everything I learned. OTOH, loving the Scriptures as I do, at the very least, I'll compare the English to the Greek; and for a number of years, I used to listening to my pastor go through passages verse by verse and try to look only at the Greek Text while doing so. Writing emails to family sprinkled with the Greek and doing webpages on certain topics with a lot of the Greek words and grammar in them, has helped as well.
EuXaristw para poly!
Hi again Darryl. It's me again. For some reason I feel like I have to know Koine' Greek and answer more than a few questions in order to be saved. It's like a rabbit hole that just keeps going. Would you say that it's right thinking for me to say that," I have to read and understand at least the vital parts of the Bible (concerning Jesus and salvation) in Greek in order to believe and be saved" ?
Hey Tagnen, No you don't need to know Greek at all to be saved! The original languages provide you with greater depth, clarity and texture, but translations are just fine for following the main story and grasping the key points. Being part of a faithful church is also helpful as a faithful pastor can help you work out the details you're uncertain of. So reading in a translation is like watching a B&W TV - you can still follow the story, get the main plot points, etc, but reading the original languages is like watching the same show on a modern 8k HD TV.
Hi, hoping you could help. I am new to Greek and I am trying to understand something from a biblical perspective. What is meant by 3rd personal singular active present of the word deō? I am trying to understand this statement, “He must needs go through Samaria.” The verb is imperfect indicative active. Can you help?
I think you're referring to δεῖ. This is what is called an impersonal verb, which generally would not take "he" as the subject, but would be translated more like "it is necessary to go through Samaria" or in the imperfect some might translate it "it was necessary to go through Samaria." (I'd opt for "it is" as English can't fully capture the imperfect here.) I hope that helps.
your website only has the Greek Bible in the free resources. Where is the Hebrew Bible? Could you please upload also the hebrew bible? thanks
Hey there, you can find the Hebrew-Greek Bible here: www.biblicalmastery.academy/free-hebrew-greek-bible/
The file has both Hebrew and Greek, with the Hebrew being below the Greek books. Thanks for your question!
First link not working
Do the lexicons you mention interpret Greek from a mysogynistic point of view?
Hi Debi, that sounds like an accusation, but I’m sure I’m misreading you here. Can you clarify your question? I’m not aware of any that do, but I could be wrong..
What would you recommend to those who are willing to spend a little on their resources?
I just released a video about how to get started with a library in Logos which you can see here: ruclips.net/video/2F4f_rO-IGI/видео.html. If you want physical books, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/zOtkVCq12FQ/видео.html
I'm Argentinian i'm interested in studying Greek. We need free teachers you need to bless to be blessed.
What’s with all the subtle no money, don’t want to spend money etc “you this - that”? check your deep thought cycles and projections especially if pursuing a path as an instructor, especially in biblical instruction (James 3:1). Myself and I’m sure many other viewers are interested in learning more Greek, because. not because we are broke. God bless.
Glad to hear it. I had lots of requests for this video and it is one of the more popular videos on this channel, so lots of people want to learn Greek without committing to it financially. Thanks for watching!
Hi sir. Good day. can I ask how to say/write "The word has a beginning" in Koine Greek? I just want to know because my Unitarian friends insist that in John 1:1a John shows that the Word has a beginning. Thank you so much and God bless!
Your Unitarian friends were dropped by their mothers onto their heads. "En arche e:n ho logos"--in [the] beginning (noun!) was (actually, this is the imperfect, so a continuing action) the Word. There is no other way to read this except that the Word was existent in the beginning and continued to exist afterwards.
@junjun - “the beginning” is written by a human from a human perspective. It doesn’t include God. The point of this verse is to say God was already there.
Suppose it's written: "In the beginning was God" --could be awkward, confusing because God had no beginning.
"In the beginning was the Word" --makes sense if the Word (Jesus) had a beginning. You may want to research Pr. 8:22-30 & Col. 1:15 while taking into account three verses, John 1:1-3. I understand this verse is controversial and language experts can have different opinions about it.
You can contact me at brixclaire@protonmail.com. Thanks. (I'm from Surigao City.)
@@totonchua Just had to reply: No! That would not be "awkward" at all... because that's essentially what Genesis 1:1 begins with: "᾿Εν ἀρχῇ [ἐποίησεν] ὁ θεὸς" (LXX; the Bible for anyone who knew more Greek than Hebrew)... and an obvious parallel and why John started his gospel with the words: "Ἐν ἀρχῇ [ἦν] ὁ λόγος" to show that The Word was already there when God created the world (and the whole rest of the Universe too).
Maybe I don't see a couple of them, but a couple free ones don't appear to be free anymore?
Which ones? It is probably time we created an updated version of this video.
Thanks heaps for this video! Very informative and helpful content :) Keep up the good work!
You've got another like and sub out of me ;)
Thanks for the sub! Glad to have you as a subscriber!

Intermediate New Testament Greek: A Linguistic and Exegetical Approach
Book by Richard A. Young
Is the above book is good for beginners? Or Kindly send me the book 📚name to begin Greek
I don't think this would be an ideal book to start with - it seems to be an intermediate grammar, not a beginning Greek grammar. I recommend Beginning with New Testament Greek which you can find on Kindle here: amzn.to/33JKIYV
@@bma thank you for your prompt reply 🙏🏻
Why should one learn Biblical Greek when we have no original manuscripts earlier than Mark written in 70ad?
Because all the manuscripts are written in koine greek?
@@Lay-Man I don’t understand the point you are making.
@@melvinhathorn4988 Me neither. I don't understand your point. Why not learn koiné greek if it's the original language of the manuscripts?
@@Lay-Man because there are no original manuscripts to read before 70ad. So Why bother? Who’s to say the 70ad ones are accurate?
I thought the erasmian was the standard for scholars
Most teachers do use Erasmian, yes. Thanks for watching!
Thank you ! I would like to have your roadmap pls. I am from India. I have requested through the link that you kindly provided here, but I haven’t had any response. Any technical issue?
Thank you again.
It might have been put in your junk mail folder. I haven’t had any reports of others not receiving it.
I also failed to receive the roadmap. The other offers which I signed up for on your website I did receive. None went into my spam folder.
So, I might just be too old to figure out how to find things but where are the actual teaching videos? Not just the videos talking about teaching and learning? Is there a list of step by step learning? So sorry not very good at this.
Hey Susan! Send an email to support (at) masterntgreek.com and we'll help you out!
But this is not Koine Greek. This is butchering fake language…
When will Christians stop charging OTHER Christians to expand the kingdom? Thats why many are not blessed. Imagine Jesus charging and He was the real teacher
I appreciate your feedback here. We also believe that the laborer is worthy of his wages and also that people don't tend to value what they don't pay for. We put a lot of time and energy into helping people learn, and it isn't possible without the ability to devote ourselves to the task. I don't work for an institution that provides an income for me to do this, so I have to do it myself. But we do want to support people who can't afford to pay. We have a scholarship program and we directly support missionaries and others in full time work. Reach out to us at support@masterntgreek.com and we'll see how we can help.
Wonderful 🫡
Now for my favorites.
Online course lrc.la.utexas.edu/eieol/ntgol also try learning Lithuanian as it is closer to the background PIE language from whence Greek comes.
For additional books see www.textkit.com/greek-latin-forum/viewtopic.php?t=70592 they also have forums that will help you.

Thanks,…as an unemployed disabled Vet, recovering from a home invasion,
this is a God send?🤔
I had been praying for God to send the Holy Spirit down to give me a Greek reading ability
impartation but I hadn’t been following Daniel’s fasting and praying regimen, or the
past problem with the prince of the kingdom of Persia is acting up again, so I’ll have to
actually put the work into it, sigh.

Look into the Catholic Church :)
