Looking at the “precise translation” of Acts 2:38-42 given as a foretaste, I can hardly wait for the whole Bible to be available in the “precise translation.” I will put it right next to my Ronco Vegematic, and use it just as often.

That's an interesting comment. I guess I don't know right offhand what a Ronco Vegematic is, so I don't know whether this is a genuine validation of a careful exegesis of the Koine Greek (which it is), or a mocking reproof on the translation (which I hope it is not).

But I can say that the four Gospels of the AP(recise)T(ranslation) are in print ,and available freely at the home page of Happy Heralds, Inc. for your thorough inspection and comparison with the Koine, the KJV, and other versions. Are you experienced in expository teaching or writing? "The Gospels" includes a complete, accurate chronology of the events of Jesus' ministry which can help in understanding how time flow can assist interpretation.

Also, the appendices include a brief index of Koine grammar which illuminate the precise (but sometimes awkward) readings if the English rendition.

There is a section of interest which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Simon Peter rejected Jesus six separate instances between the Last Supper and the Cross experience, rather than three, as is commonly believed and wrongly taught. That ought to be an eyeopener for the one who is skeptic as to the value of yet another translation of the NT.

Bonjour!

mocking reproof

Six denials, huh? Strange, Jesus says three. Who do you think is more precise?
