Dave,
You said about the Eastern Text (of the P'shitta NT):
"I am amazed at the Western nature of the text. It definitely retains the distinctly Eastern readings of Acts 20:28, Hebrews 2:9 and 16, as well as Matthew 6:32 (1 extra word) and others."
Could you please include here how Matthew 6:32 reads in the EASTERN TEXT?
I came upon an old note in the archive's that suggested that that was one extra letter (in Yohannon's gospel) *that changed the number of angels at Yeshua's Resurrection* (when He spoke to Maryam), but as soon as I found it to copy again, I lost it again! lol
But it's really THERE, for someone who might care to chase it down, because I found it initially.
This note was from an old member (maybe from John Marucci?) several years ago (maybe from 2003?).
As far as I can tell, these 4 or 5 points of difference, are the ONLY differences from the Eastern to the Western Texts of the P'shitta NT.
Are there MORE changes that I MISSED, from the Eastern Peshitta NT?
Or are these few, the only one's?
Shlama, Albion
