    5 manuscripts have "governing"?

    From what I understand all manuscript copies of Luke have ηγεμονευοντος in Luke 2:2. What other reading is there in any manuscript for Luke 2:2?

    I'm doing my own search, but help me out here, those 5 things you referenced, are those manuscripts? What's the link?

    I thought you would know. TR, the Received Text, Like used by the KJV. WH, Westcott and Hort text, MT Majority Text. NU, Nestle-Aland and United Bible Society text, F35 family 35 Greek text.

    The Blue Letter Bible dot Org has the TR and WH/NU text and now the morphology for the Greek grammar.
    The F35 as F35-GNT.pdf can be download from Dr Pickering's web site.

    But that's why I asked repeatedly for manuscripts, specifying not texts, but you kept giving me texts. So I thought maybe they're manuscripts with similar abbreviations. So again, do all manuscripts (not texts) say "governing"?

    Texts are not the same as manuscripts.

    The Greek texts are all some type of compilation of select Greek manuscripts. Except for some select Byzantine Greek manuscripts which are for the most part the same. Otherwise each manuscript is different in some way or another. The Nestle-Aland lists many of the manuscripts and in it's apparatus lists some manuscripts with or without a reading. Dr Pickering's F35 Greek text only lists manuscripts 5th century or older otherwise other Greek texts such as the TR or NU and some others.

    All manuscripts have some 100% agreements. Which makes them that book. So the Greek that translates as "governing" in Luke 2:2 is part of the 100% that makes a manuscript Luke.

    I don't think so, but may be wrong, will revert.

    Here is the deal. If there is no 100% agreement in any way then every manuscript would say something else. The thousands of manuscripts would all say different things.
