Bible Note: Repost of ID# 28726 by Morant61 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.
