"Η Νέα Διαθήκη : κατά το Βατικανό Χειρόγραφο" by Alexandros Palles is a religious text, specifically a translation of the New Testament, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide an accessible version of the biblical scriptures while reflecting the changes in the Greek language, notably from polytonic to monotonic script. The book likely delves into the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as well as the foundational principles of Christianity through the varying accounts presented in the New Testament. The opening of this text presents several genealogies and the early narrative surrounding the birth of Jesus, including significant figures such as Mary, Joseph, and King Herod. It recounts the prophetic affirmations related to Jesus's birth, the visit of the Magi, and Herod's subsequent decree to kill male children in Bethlehem. This section sets the stage for the foundational events of Christianity and highlights the themes of fate and divine intervention, as well as the immediate challenges faced by the Holy Family following Christ's birth.
