Subject: Jn 14:14 Why "ask Me," instead of "ask" |
Bible Note: Astute observation/question Mark! If indeed some effort was made of old (we lack absolute proof of that, I fancy) to standardize the texts of the Byzantine tradition, why should this become a key issue with, as well as a main talking point of criticism of the Byzantine Text by, the Alexandrian Text boys? They're doing the same thing, aren't they? After all the smoke has cleared away, it remains an incontrovertible fact that the Alexandrian Text tradition rests upon its two featured stars, both of the flawed, the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus, and these two disagree with one another in divers places. So, if the traditional text boys made a concerted effort to standardize, the critical text boys are still working on trying to get their act together and their text standarized. When they look down their supercilious noses at us traditional text guys, isn't it a case of the pot calling the kettle black? After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander -- or so "they" say! --Hank |
