What's you take on the early church father's quote of Acts 8:37 that preceeded the earlest known manuscripts? What could they have been reading? thanks, retxar |

Greetings Retxar! I haven't checked into the quote as of yet! But, assuming all the facts as you stated them, it could simply be that the expanded reading appeared early on and that was the reading being quoted. I personally believe that all of the NT books were written prior to 70 a.d.. So, there would have been nearly 200 years during whch the reading could have been expanded. Some readings are definitely harder to make decesions about. This appears to be one of those! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim, Keep me honest bro and see if the quote I posted checks out or not! To me (if it checks out) this would assure those who might wonder if Acts 8:37 is authentic or not, to believe that it is. I admit it’s not iron clad evidence that Acts 8:37 was dropped from the earlier known manuscripts, but I’m sure anyone would have to admit it is at least a possibility. God bless! retxar |
