Shlama Akhay,
The online Bible at apostolicbible.com has a footnote concerning an addition in Rev. 1:2 from the Complutensian Polyglot. From what I understand, Erasmus and an associate wanted to rush on ahead of the formers of the Complutensian Polyglot to have the first printed edition of a Greek text. The CP is based on two late and little-known texts that are in the Vatican Library (or at least that's what this 50-year-old man doing the typing remembers) <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> The addition is thought-provoking!
The Apostolic Bible has for verse 2--"who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as much as indeed he saw."
The footnote reads--Compl. adds kai atima eisi kai a crj genesqai meta tauta--"and infamous are also what behooves to take place after these things."
Oh well, this a long way from the accepted or "Received Text" but it's one of the most startling variants I've seen in a while! <!-- s:whatthat: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/whatsthat.gif" alt=":whatthat:" title="Whats That" /><!-- s:whatthat: --> <!-- s:wow: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wow.gif" alt=":wow:" title="Wow" /><!-- s:wow: --> <!-- s
