Bible Question: In Rev. 1:11 why do so many translations leave out " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." ??? |
Bible Answer: NU-Text and M-Text omit 'I am through third and'. M-text is the Majority text, which is speaking about the majority of the Bible manuscripts in existence. Nu-text is Greek translated 26th edition of Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament (N) and the the third edition of the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament (U) which is basically the newer discovered texts that are considered to be the oldest existing. So in effect what is being said here is that both the majority of Bible texts and the oldest copies do not have "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." EdB |
