Talk:Matthew 17

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Adam.gibson

Somebody should check Nestle-Alland maybe, but it seems that Vaticanus is *not* complete, but lacks 17:21 (as does Sinaiticus). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Vaticanus and some other googling affirm thi, at least. Adam.gibson (talk) 17:21, 19 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I checked the digitized manuscripts directly. No surprise that 17:21 is omitted from the text of Vaticanus as Sinaiticus. Not a missing piece of vellum, but simply not included in the text, passing from 20 to 22 directly. This wouldn't have to be mentioned at this point in the article. But, rather than remove the comment from Sinaiticus I made a parallel comment for Vaticanus. The issue probably *should* be discussed later in the article as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_18#Verse_11 . Many modern translations in English omit v21 on this basis.
