    The first century Christian congregation included the authors of the New Testament. So you can make a case for saying that all of the New Testament comes from the teachings of the first century Church. The acts and teachings of the Apostles and the Gospels were added to the Old Testament to become the Bible.

    And by the same token, none of the New Testament was taught by the first century Christians because the Bible as we know it now wasn't codified until later. What we refer to as Sacred Tradition (those beliefs and practices that have been handed down through the centuries) is the early Church's legacy to us.

    I'm not sure which way to interpret your question.

    The Hebrew Scriptures, as there was no New Testament in the first century after Yeshua. He and the disciples taught the Torah. And they were able to prove from the Tanak (the Old Testament) that Yeshua was in fact the Messiah.

    Well it depends what time in the first century. Early on the bible was not completed and spiritual gifts were given to the faithful to supplement the lack of completed scripture. So prophecy pertinent to the time would be taught and the apostles would speak on matters you would later find in the bible.

    Later, when the bible was completed... the whole thing would be taught, not part of it.

    the very first christians were jewish. so they were taught both the torah and the teachings of Jesus. it wasn't until Saul/Paul came on the scene that Christianity spread to non jewish or Gentile peoples. and both men and women were taught. historically, only men could go to the synagogue. it was up to the men to educate the women or not, depending on their choice. the new testament was not completed until about 70 AD. so it wasn't until after that point that the new testament was taught as well.

    Luk 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written and began to read.
