2 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | Morant61 | 28726 | ||
Greetings WDC! The Nestle Aland Text, the UBS Text, the Majority Text all use the phrase 'apo tou xulou tas zoas.' (I'm not sure of the transliteration). The phrase is translated "from the tree of life." The Textus Receptus and Scrivener's Text both use the phrase 'apo biblou tas zoas.' This phrase is translated "from book of life." Both the Textus Receptus (which the KJV is based upon) and Scrivener's Text used only a handful of manuscripts in the compliation of their text. As a result, there are ocassionally readings which are not supported by the better Greek texts. This is one of those cases! By the way, the word 'tree' is Strongs number # 3586.

3 | Where are you getting all this informati | Acts 2:6 | wdc | 28728 | ||
Hello Tim, Where are you getting all this information? Do you have it in your library, or is it a web site? I would like to have access to information like that. On another subject, this is also one of the things that confuses today, all the different translations and greek text and such. I have currently gone back to the KJV because it is the one I was raised in (but I really don't like reading it) and I get really confused and disheartened trying to study with the others when they say different things. I know interpretation is not an exact science, but somehow, it really bothers me. Any help here? later...wdc |

Greetings WDC! I'm lucking in that I have a really nice Bible Software program which enables me to check just about any translation and most of the Greek and Hebrew texts. I also read Greek, so that helps! :-) You can find good resources on the internet. Try like the Blue Letter Bible site or the Bible Gateway. Both of these will enable you to check many translations. I'll try to find some other helps for you! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
