Bible Statistics

The next figure shows the size (Number of Chapters) of each book in the Bible.

 Note: Books are not in order


                  Now we move on to the New Testament


Matthew and Acts both have 28 chapters but Matthew only has 20 verses in chapter 28 while Acts has 31 Verses, making it the longest book in the New Testament. 

The New Testament Has 5 Main Parts

Note: Books are not in order

Side Fact:
     Testament means a covenant instituted between God and man, esp the covenant of Moses or that instituted by Christ. It came from the Latin word testāmentum.
So you could say "The Old Covenant" and "The New Covenant."
