The Thin Layer Text Variants in Major Translations |
|
Many old, handwritten copies of New Testament writings, called manuscripts,
survive and are in various places around the world. Many are in "koine" Greek,
a language spoken by ordinary people in Jesus' time. They're not all the same. Bible
versions used in our day are not the same. One reason is because editors
choose to use different manuscripts as a basis for their Bible versions.
Using the links below, compare the King James Version (KJV) to the New American Standard
Version (NASV). Look at the words in red and compare. The differences (or, variants) trace
back to the manuscripts. The red words agree with the
manuscripts noted in parentheses at the end of the verse. The major Greek
manuscripts used here are called Aleph, A, B, and Byz.
