I think what Akhan Abudar is saying is that both texts read the same in Christological terms. In other words, both the Maronites (Catholic) and the Church of the East are, Christologically speaking, Diophysite (those who hold to 2 natures in 1 person.)
Therefore, the text in Acts 20:28 is identical....and the text in Hebrews 2:9 is (Christologically-speaking), identical, between the text of these two communities.
It is the texts and manuscripts of the Monophysites, also incidentally written in the Serto script, that have a totally different meaning in Acts 20:28 and Hebrews 2:9.
To my knowledge no Maronite, or any of the other 21 branches of the Catholic Church for that matter, believes that God died or suffered in the Deity.
