2 | extra phrase (...beginning and the end) | Rev 1:8 | mark d seyler | 165135 | ||
Hi Kento, I'd like to just add this to Kalos' answer. The King James, from the Received Text, contains this phrase, but the Majority Manuscript (representing over -I think- 98 percent of extant manuscripts) does not, neither do the Alexandrian Manuscripts. While the King James agrees extremely closely to the Majority Manuscript, this is one of the very few places where it doesn't. There is a greater number of places where the King James disagrees with the Alexandrian manuscripts. Most places where the King James disagrees with other more "modern" Bibles, it is due to the fact that modern translations are mostly translated giving favor to the variants found in the Alexandrian type manuscripts. Love in Christ, Mark |
