ARAMAIC CLARIFICATION STATEMENTS IN NT
#20
If that is what it is...does Mr. Lamsa say that? The Version I have says on the cover "Holy Bible from the ancient Eastern text."
That is misleading I would say, as he adds in many western text readings as well. And there are hardly any notes anywere to indicate his decisions.

Acts 8:38 is not found in the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Ephream, NOR is it found in the Greek Majority text, the Coptic texts (Northern or Southern) the Latin Vulgate...nor the Peshitta text. What is the reason for this?

I found it qouted in Irenaeus, Cyprian, Pontius, and in the Old Latin text since 157 A.D. So it was around before the oldest Greek Manuscripts that exist today. But, is it original, or an addition in the Old Latin text...a text which St. Jerome corrected, based on the oldest Greek copies that he had in the late 300s. Which would be much older than the oldest Greek texts that exist today.

Blessings,
Chuck
