Both Paul Younan & Andrew Roth go with the Eastern Peshitta Text..and Roth adds the Western Five books to his Eastern Peshitta Text translations.
So far that I have seen, David Bauscher (hi Dave) and Joseph Pashka's translations are strictly of the Western Peshitto version...whereas all the others I have looked at, Lamsa, Magiera, Murdoch, & Etheridge have a mix of Eastern & Western readings in their respective English translations, in those places where the texts differ.
Though as has been established, but for about 7 verses/passages, and the two readings in Acts 20:28 & Hebrews 2:9...and of course the five books not in the Eastern Peshitta Text, 2nd Peter, 2nd John, 3rd John, Jude, and Revelation, they are the same in the 22 books.
Why arent those five books in the Eastern Peshitta Text?
Because the Eastern Peshitta Text, is so old, that when The Church of the East recieved those 22 books from the Apostles in the 1st century, the other five books, were either not yet written, or just not part of the Scriptures that they were given. Based on one statement in an old Manuscript, this may have been as early as 78 A.D.
If Revelation was written before then, which I believe it probably was, it may have at that time, been only circulating in Asia Minor, to which God had instructed it to be sent...unto the 7 Churches in that land. Later it was spread abroad, but took along time to fully be accepted even in the West.
The Church of the East, did not see these other books for many centuries if I'm not mistaken, right Paul?
And they have not rejected them, but have a special relationship with those 22 books that The Apostles handed personally to them.
