Good question Dave. I have one too...
Where did the writer of the Apostolic Constitutions (circa 390 A.D.) get this reading from in the quote below? If there were NO Greek Manuscripts which had the Eastern Peshitta Text?s reading in them at Acts 20:28, where in the world did this Greek writer get it?
??run together to the Church of the Lord, ?which He has purchased with the blood of Christ, the beloved, the first-born of every creature.? Apostolic Constitutions: Sec. VII.?On Assembling in the Church.
And again in the same section?
?Let the bishop pray for the people, and say: ?Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thine inheritance, which Thou hast obtained with the precious blood of Thy Christ,?? Apostolic Constitutions: Sec. VII.?On Assembling in the Church.

Quote:Why is there not one Greek manuscript (including P46-3rd century) with the Eastern Peshitta reading, if that reading is the original from which all Greek manuscripts of Acts are translated? Why does no ancient version of the New Testament-(Latin,Itala,Coptic,Slavonic,Georgian,Armenian,Gothic, Bohairic, Sahidic,Arabic,or Ethiopic) have the Eastern Peshitta reading?
Quote:?where did the Greek mss. get the "God" reading?
