Some questions

You said:

Quote:no Greek manuscript or ancient version has the Eastern Peshitta reading: "which the Messiah purchased with his own blood".

We know that The Messiah of God did indeed do that....

This is how the Eastern Peshitta Text of the Kahbouris Manuscript reads:

Literal Translation: "Therefore take care of your soul and the entire flock, which have been established by the Spirit of Holiness, as Overseers, to feed the Assembly of Messiah, obtained by his blood."

And here is how some others who translated the Eastern Text render this verse.

Etheridge: Acts 20:28 - "Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood."

Lamsa: Acts 20:28 - "Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood."

Roth: Acts 20:28 - "Take great care of yourselves, and of all the flock over which the Ruach haKodesh has established you as overseers for, that you feed the assembly of Mashiyach, which he acquired by his own blood."

H.T. Anderson - Sinaiticus Manuscript Translation "Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, that you act as shepherds to the church of the Lord, which he purchased with his own blood."

Irenaeus who wrote Against Heresies around 180-185 A.D. and quotes the earliest known version of this verse, other than the Eastern Peshitta reading has this:

"Take heed, therefore, both to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops, to rule the Church of the Lord, which He has acquired for Himself through His own blood." (Against Heresies: Book III:14)

Both versions, Northern and Southern, of the Ancient Coptic Scriptures, both witness to the "Church of the Lord" reading.

And look at this:

From the Majority Greek Text, as translated by Paul W. Esposito of Majority Text.com

"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of the Lord, and of God, which He purchased with His own blood."

And I noticed this when reading the Apostolic Constitutions: Book II. Of Bishops, Presbyters, and Deacons: Sec. VII.?On Assembling in the Church - Dated to about 390 A.D.

"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, and hast called a royal priesthood, and an holy nation.? "

"Do you therefore, who attend to the laws of God, esteem those laws more honourable than the necessities of this life, and pay a greater respect to them, and 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.? "
