Daniel Wallace Misrepresents Textual Support

[Rippon]

Indeed! It's frustrating when 80% or so of the existing MSS are written off in the apparatus with the term Byz.

Mind your Byz.

The following are just a fraction of Byzantine minuscules containing the Gospel of John yet missing the PA:

1080 9th century
896 12th
843 12th
827 13th
817 15th
800 12th
799 11th
777 12th
776 11th
773 10th
770 12th
768 12th
741 14th
736 12th
731 14th
730 14th

This is inaccurate. Dr. Maurice Robinson has been collating all of the MSS that contain the pericope adulterae. (And we of the Byzantine priority persuasion are looking forward to the final results.) He has found that of all the MSS containing the passage relative to the location of the PA, a total of 1495 mss contain John 7:51-8:13, and 268 lack the PA.

These are mostly miniscules, not papyri or uncials. Of those, 16 have the PA and 19 lack it. This figure of 19 points to missing parts in 3 MSS: p39, Aleph, and C. This also includes a non-continuous text: 0250.

Hopefully this will correct any misapprehensions about the data.

You prefer the Majority Text, but still have used the Critical one, correct?

As a Greek teacher, I examine all texts, but the technical term for my position is Byzantine Priority, which differs in a number of ways from the method of textual criticism of the Hodges/Farstad The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text.

Is there a Greek text one can view for that?
