Bible Question: why is there a short and long version of Mark 16:8 |
Bible Answer: According to Metzger, the longer version was added. It is not in the Siniatic, or Vaticanus manuscripts (the two oldest). However, in the foreward to my Greek Interlinear NT by Jay P. Green, he claims that although the verses from Mark 16:9 and onward aren't included in the oldest manuscripts, there is a blank space for it's inclusion in one, and extra large text to use up the space in the other. I'd never heard that before! |
