Did you watch the videos?

Let me read a text from my bible for you. This is Mark 16. it says;

"Verses 9 - 20 are not included in two of the best and oldest Greek copies of Mark"

Let me give you another; John 7, it says;

Some early Greek manuscript do not contain 7: 53 - 8: 11.

That covers the story of the woman caught in adultery.


Why do you think modern bible publishers would care to put such warnings on the material?

No I didn't but I knew that would get you to do just what you did above which is go into detail for me. I am not using my home computer so I can't get on the youtube, not enough time to.

Oh I do see your point. It is in my Bible too, and that it is why I love having a Catholic Bible it has everything.

This is what is said from mine. This passage, termed the longer Ending to the Marcan gospel by comparison with a much briefer conclusion found in some less important manuscripts, has traditionally been accepted as a canonical part of the gospel and was defined as such by the Council of Trent.

It is still accepted as Scripture.

It was contained in the Old Latin manuscripts. So infact it wasn't missing.

Get you. Well at least, it appears you have learnt something new today. I hope.

Everyday is a learning day and I thank God for it.
