In addition to the now-standard 27 books of the New Testament, Sinaiticus includes the [[Epistle of Barnabas]] and most of the Shepherd of Hermas. The Old Testament given in the codex is a Greek translation called the [[Septuagint]]. This is the version of scripture quoted by [[Jesus]] and the [[apostles]]. Sinaiticus includes various works now classified as apocryphal by [[Protestant]]s, including 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, 1 and 4 Maccabees, Wisdom, and Sirach.
