Enouch in new testament

Here are some notable mentions of Enoch in the New Testament:

  1. Hebrews 11:5: "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God." (ESV)

In this passage, the author of Hebrews highlights Enoch's faith and his unique experience of being taken up to heaven without experiencing death.

  1. Jude 1:14-15: "It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, 'Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.'" (ESV)

In this passage, Jude quotes Enoch's prophecy about the coming judgment of God, which is a theme that is also prominent in the New Testament.

  1. 1 Peter 2:4-5: "Coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by men in the sight of God chosen and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone, elect, a precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.'" (ESV)

In this passage, Peter quotes Psalm 118:22, which is also quoted by Jesus in Matthew 21:42. The passage is often seen as a reference to Enoch's prophetic role in the Old Testament, as he is said to have prophesied about the coming Messiah.

These are the main references to Enoch in the New Testament. While Enoch is not a central figure in the New Testament, his legacy as a righteous and prophetic figure continues to be celebrated and referenced throughout the book.
