If I may disagree, I believe it was tampered with. It was written by humans who put in their biased views as to the events as they happened. As such, it is not true to the original events and tampered with.

In addition, with each translation attempts to define ideas or words alter the meaning of the texted. You need only look at the fact that there are many different sects of Christianity.
