Jews usually tend not to talk or think about the NT at all. Remember, that
unlike Christian use of the OT (or whatever...), the NT plays no part in
Jewish thought at all. In fact (don't be offended, Christian friends), many
traditional-minded Orthodox Jews (and I'm not just referring to
Ultra-Orthodox Hasiddim) consider the NT to be a heretical, profane book,
one which has been the inspiration of two thousand years of persecution of
Jews, and will have nothing to do with it and refuse to have a copy in
their homes. If and when referring to the NT at all, many Jews will say
something like "the so-called New Testament".
You did ask...
