The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels

CHAPTER IV
15/42

The self-same casualty, viz.

[Greek: kai] elicited out of the insertion of [Greek: ekei] and the transposition of the clauses, is discoverable among the Cursives at St.Matt.xxiv.

28,--the parallel place: where by the way the old uncials distinguish themselves by yet graver eccentricities[82].
How can we as judicious critics ever think of disturbing the text of Scripture on evidence so precarious as this?
It is proposed that we should henceforth read St.Matt.xxii.

23 as follows:--'On that day there came to Him Sadducees _saying_ that there is no Resurrection.' A new incident would be in this way introduced into the Gospel narrative: resulting from a novel reading of the passage.
Instead of [Greek: hoi legontes], we are invited to read [Greek: legontes], on the authority of [Symbol: Aleph]BDMSZP and several of the Cursives, besides Origen, Methodius, Epiphanius.

This is a respectable array.
