HAPPY FRIDAY!

OOPS! Almost forgot today!! I woke up late and had to rush off to see a client that I don't normally see on Fridays. It's Spring Break here, so everything is on it's own schedule.

This week's selection comes from the same book I talked about on Wednesday, Misquoting Jesus: The story behind who changed the Bible and why by Bart D. Ehrman. I haven't gotten to page 56 yet but so far, it's a very interesting book.

In Codex Vaticanus, however, the original scribe produced a slightly different text, with a verb that sounded similar in Greek; here the text reads instead reads: "Christ manifests {Greek: PHANERON] all things by the word of his power."

ok, ok I guess I have to qualify this. The previous sentence says, In the opening of the book of Hebrews there is a passage in which, according to most manuscripts, we are told that "Christ bears [Greek: PHERON] all things by the word of his power" (Heb 1:3).
