How many hours does Jesus speak in the New Testament?
Upvote:1
Here is a rough estimate for you:
- Audio Bibles are typically 75-85 hours in length, but the gospels collectively constitue approximately 10% of the total word count of the entire Bible.
- There is a small amount of additional words of Jesus that are found elsewhere in the New Testament but they do not change the overally percentage too much to warrant confurther consideration (less than additional 1% of the total word count of the entire Bible).
- The percentage of each gospel that is actually Jesus speaking varies significantly, but an overall rough percentage of 50% is a rough figure suitable for this sort of estimate.
- Assume duplication between the gospels and other comparative issues are irrelevant (by the way the duplication issue would be a more significant issue than the issue you've identified of difference in language lengths which is completely unknowable to us anyway).
Given the above, then roughly 5% of the length of an average audio bible is not an unreasonalbe estimate - ie approximately 4 hours.
