Overview:
The first edition of the translation of New Testament books, prepared by K.P. Pobedonostsev, was published in 1906, the second edition - in the year of the translator’s death. Pobedonostsev called this work his “testament to the Russian reader.” According to Pobedonostsev, translating the Slavic speech of the Gospel into ordinary Russian means spoiling it, and “translating it by paraphrasing means disfiguring it with the danger of vulgarizing the pure and belittling the sublime.” Nevertheless, Pobedonostsev recognized the need to have a Russian translation of the Gospel.

Первое издание перевода новозаветных книг, подготовленного К.П.Победоносцевым, вышло в 1906 году, второе издание – в год смерти переводчика. Победоносцев назвал этот труд своим «завещанием Русскому читателю». По словам Победоносцева, переводить на обыденный русский язык славянскую речь Евангелия значит портить ее, а «перекладывать ее перефразировкой - значит обезображивать ее с опасностью опошлить чистое и принизить возвышенное». Тем не менее, Победоносцев признавал необходимость иметь русский перевод Евангелия.
