Bible Question:
Here is another question we might ask: Often a verse or passage does not appear in the earliest manuscripts, yet it is left in a particular translation. Is it dishonest or unethical not to let the reader know that such a passage does not appear in the earliest manuscripts? |
Bible Answer: Radioman2 ... I just posted to justme ... We know all we have copies of the original, so we rely on manuscripts. I don't buy the earliest manuscripts are always the best. It would be nice to be able to trace each manuscript ... then we may find words or sections were added. Mark 16:9-20, even verse 20 itself, is one section. I think the publishers need to let us know the facts ... maybe even what manuscripts are available and say some don't have a certain word or section. Searcher |
