Tyndale Bible of 1526

Notice that in the image above, the Tyndale Bible is printed in paragraph format with a single
column per page. When Christ, the apostles, and evangelists quoted from the Scriptures, they never
gave chapter and verse references. At times they did not even name the book from which the
quotation was taken.

Matthew 26:31
Then Yahshua said to them, “You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I will
strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.'”

Where in the Bible does it state, “'I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall
be scattered”? The quotation is taken from Zechariah, chapter 13, and verse 7. If I merely told you
that these words were in the Old Testament, or in the book of Zechariah, you would likely have a
difficult time locating them. By dividing the books of the Bible into chapters and verses, we can
more quickly locate a specific portion of Scripture.

Let us consider another example, this one taken from one of Paul’s writings.

Hebrews 5:5-6
So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to
him,

“You are my Son, today I have begotten you”;

as he says also in another place,

“You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”

Like Christ, the apostle does not tell us where these Scriptures are found, not even naming the
