9781513677972 Images of Matthew 19:9 in all available Greek New Testament Manuscripts Listed by Date by An O. Nymous

Description:
This work is a .PDF database of images of Matthew 19:9 from all available Greek New Testament Manuscripts. For the first time, all the images have been brought together in one book. For more than 500 years, Matthew 19:9 has been at the center of the ongoing dispute between Catholics and Protestants over the Biblical status of Divorce. In this one verse, there is a tremendous amount of variability from one version of the Bible to the next, and to a somewhat lesser extent, from one version of the Greek New Testament to the next, and, and to a much lesser extent, from one Greek Manuscript to the next, as a study of the data will show. The Manuscript Witnesses show that the Protestant Greek New Testament (and even the King James Bible) contains one error, and the Catholic, Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament (NA) contains a different error. Specifically, among the Manuscripts, there are three different versions of the infamous exception clause (translated as 'except for fornication' in most Protestant versions of the Bible), but only 1% of the manuscripts support the Protestant assertion that the phrase includes the word 'except' - ninety six percent omit it. The NA has never - in its entire history - included the last phrase, 'And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery', yet it is present in 93% of the manuscripts. It is hoped that this database will result in the harmonization of the words of Matthew 19:9 over all editions of the Bible.
