Biblical Languages 301 Guidelines

This is where we come to delve into the biblical text. Theology is not our foremost thought, but we realize it is something that will be dealt with in nearly every conversation. Feel free to use the original languages to make your point (meaning Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). This is an exegetical discussion area, so please limit topics to purely biblical ones.

This is not the section for debates between theists and atheists. While a theistic viewpoint is not required for discussion in this area, discussion does presuppose a respect for the integrity of the Biblical text (or the willingness to accept such a presupposition for discussion purposes) and a respect for the integrity of the faith of others and a lack of an agenda to undermine the faith of others.

    There is more invested into the interpolation than I had previously thought. It is rarely admitted as not in the M-text, but the reading is never in the other gospels' indirect quoting the words. The only time is in Luke 9:23, and the Greek interpolation show signs of Modern Greek, and english influences. Kata does not mean each but rather according to, down from, or after.

      Where to begin?

      Let's take this one assertion at a time; otherwise, I will not be able to make sense of your many strange expressions.

      First, please explain what you mean by "the reading is never in the other gospels' indirect quoting the words"? To what are you referring?

            7. Somet. the κατά phrase, which would sound cumbersome in the rendering ‘such-and-such’, ‘in line with’, or ‘in accordance with’, is best rendered as an adj., a possessive pron., or with a genitival construction to express the perspective from which something is perceived or to be understood. In translation it thus functions as
            a. an adj. (Synes., Kingdom 4 p. 4d τὰ κατ᾿ ἀρετὴν ἔργα i.e. the deeds that are commensurate with that which is exceptional = virtuous deeds; PHib 27, 42 ταῖς κ. σελήνην ἡμέραις; 4 Macc 5:18 κ. ἀλήθειαν=ἀληθής; Just., A I, 2, 1 τοὺς κ. ἀλήθειαν εὐσεβεῖς; Tat. 26, 2 τῆς κ. ἀλήθειαν σοφίας) οἱ κ. φύσιν κλάδοι the natural branches Ro 11:21. ἡ κατ᾿ εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλία 1 Ti 6:3; cp.

Χριστόν (as the majority, incl. Ltzm., take it): a physical Christ, a Christ in the flesh, in his earthly relationships (σάρξ 5). Correspondingly in vs. 16a κ. σ. would be taken w. οὐδένα: no one simply as a physical being.—JMartyn, JKnox Festschr., ’67, 269–87.
            b. a possessive pron., but with limiting force (Demosth. 2, 27 τὰ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς ἐλλείμματα [i.e. in contrast to the activities of others: ‘your own’]; Aelian, VH 2, 42 ἡ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν ἀρετή; 3, 36; OGI 168, 17 παραγεγονότες εἰς τοὺς καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς τόπους; SIG 646, 6; 807, 15 al.; UPZ 20, 9 [II BC] ἐπὶ τῆς καθ᾿ ἡμᾶς λειτουργίας; PTebt 24, 64; 2 Macc 4:21; Tat. 42, 1 τίς ὁ θεὸς καὶ τίς ἡ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν ποίησις; Mel., HE 4, 26, 7 ἡ καθ᾿ ἡμᾶς φιλοσοφία) τῶν καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς ποιητῶν τινες some of your (own) poets Ac 17:28. ἡ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς πίστις Eph 1:15. ὁ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς νόμος Ac 18:15. τὸ κατ᾿ ἐμὲ πρόθυμον my eagerness Ro 1:15.

              I do not know what you mean by "indirect quoting of the words", nor do I know what you mean by "signs of Modern Greek and [E]nglish influences". However, here are all the occurrences of the term in the NT; if you ever get back to this thread, perhaps the following will serve as a point of reference.
              Matt. 26:55 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις· ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με.
              Mark 14:49 καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἤμην πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με· ἀλλ᾿ ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί.
              Luke 9:23 Ἔλεγεν δὲ πρὸς πάντας· εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεσθαι, ἀρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
              Luke 11:3 τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν·
              Luke 16:19 Ἄνθρωπος δέ τις ἦν πλούσιος, καὶ ἐνεδιδύσκετο πορφύραν καὶ βύσσον εὐφραινόμενος καθ᾿ ἡμέραν λαμπρῶς.
              Luke 19:47 Καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ. οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
              Luke 22:53 καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ὄντος μου μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, ἀλλ᾿ αὕτη ἐστὶν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους.
              Acts 2:46 καθ᾿ ἡμέραν τε προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, κλῶντές τε κατ᾿ οἶκον ἄρτον, μετελάμβανον τροφῆς ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ ἀφελότητι καρδίας 47 αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἔχοντες χάριν πρὸς ὅλον τὸν λαόν. ὁ δὲ κύριος προσετίθει τοὺς σῳζομένους καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
              Acts 3:2 καί τις ἀνὴρ χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ᾿ ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ τὴν λεγομένην Ὡραίαν τοῦ αἰτεῖν ἐλεημοσύνην παρὰ τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὸ ἱερόν·

              Acts 17:11 οὗτοι δὲ ἦσαν εὐγενέστεροι τῶν ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ, οἵτινες ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον μετὰ πάσης προθυμίας καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἀνακρίνοντες τὰς γραφὰς εἰ ἔχοι ταῦτα οὕτως.
              Acts 19:9 ὡς δέ τινες ἐσκληρύνοντο καὶ ἠπείθουν κακολογοῦντες τὴν ὁδὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ πλήθους, ἀποστὰς ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἀφώρισεν τοὺς μαθητὰς καθ᾿ ἡμέραν διαλεγόμενος ἐν τῇ σχολῇ Τυράννου.
              1Cor. 15:31 καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἀποθνὴσκω, νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν, [ἀδελφοί] ἣν ἔχω ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
              2Cor. 11:28 χωρὶς τῶν παρεκτὸς ἡ ἐπίστασίς μοι ἡ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν, ἡ μέριμνα πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.
              Heb. 7:27 ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ· τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας.
              Heb. 10:11 Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ᾿ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας,

              Do all the above occurrences show "signs of Modern Greek, and [E]nglish influences"? If not, how do the others differ in that regard from the one in Luke 9:23?

                The external evidence includes the date of a particular manuscript witness, the geographical distribution of the witnesses that agree on a reading, and the genealogical relationship of the witness to the text-types. None of these considerations is considered decisive; all have to be weighed. Other things being equal, an older document may be more authoritative than a more recent one. But the date of the text-type is more important than the date of a particular witness. For example, if it can be established that at the close of the second century Irenaeus used a text-type found in a tenth-century minuscule, that minuscule will be considered more important than a fifth-century uncial whose text-type cannot be traced back further than the fourth century. Geographical distribution is also important, for if a particular reading is found in several widely separated areas, it is correspondingly less likely to be the idiosyncratic error of a geographically contained region. The relationship of the witnesses to the text-types is extremely important, because if all the witnesses that support a particular reading are from one text-type, then they may all be copies of copies of copies that spring from one manuscript. Manuscripts must therefore be weighed rather than counted. Of course, if all those manuscripts came from one textual transition, that tradition may in fact preserve the original reading; but this cannot be presumed from the number of manuscript witnesses per se. If the other three text types agree on another reading, even though they collectively embrace a smaller number of actual manuscripts, then it is in principle more likely that they preserve the original reading, other things being equal.

                  Post repeated to correct a spelling error

                  Editorial note: I must have inadvertently misspelled the first of two occurrences of the word "tradition" between the last two lines of colored text near the bottom of the post, and my spell checker then changed the word to "transition". I have corrected that spelling error below. I have also refined the wording of the opening paragraph.

                  The "Majority-text" is based on a flawed premise; that is, it does not take into account the principle explained in the first two paragraphs of Chapter 4 ― titled Some Criteria for Making Textual Choices ― of The King James Version Debate: A Plea for Realism (Baker Book House: Grand Rapids, 1779), by D. A. Carson; pages 29-30.[emphasis added]:

                    Footnote.jpgThis is the footnote in Von Soden's second volume. Lachmann doesn't have it included among his critical test. Beza admitted that only 5 out of 20 of his copies of Luke had it. Jerome testifies against his own Old Latin version as having but strangely doesn't discuss the words, suggesting those being placed in Jerome writing is a forgery. It is never mentioned by any other the church fathers, which it would be if daily self-crucifixion were a must.

                      Before turning to the nub of the debate, I propose now to sketch in some of the criteria scholars use to determine what reading is most likely closest to the original. The evidence may conveniently be divided into two sorts, the external and the internal.

                      The external evidence includes the date of a particular manuscript witness, the geographical distribution of the witnesses that agree on a reading, and the genealogical relationship of the witness to the text-types. None of these considerations is considered decisive; all have to be weighed. Other things being equal, an older document may be more authoritative than a more recent one. But the date of the text-type is more important than the date of a particular witness. For example, if it can be established that at the close of the second century Irenaeus used a text-type found in a tenth-century minuscule, that minuscule will be considered more important than a fifth-century uncial whose text-type cannot be traced back further than the fourth century. Geographical distribution is also important, for if a particular reading is found in several widely separated areas, it is correspondingly less likely to be the idiosyncratic error of a geographically contained region. The relationship of the witnesses to the text-types is extremely important, because if all the witnesses that support a particular reading are from one text-type, then they may all be copies of copies of copies that spring from one manuscript. Manuscripts must therefore be weighed rather than counted. Of course, if all those manuscripts came from one textual transition, that tradition may in fact preserve the original reading; but this cannot be presumed from the number of manuscript witnesses per se. If the other three text types agree on another reading, even though they collectively embrace a smaller number of actual manuscripts, then it is in principle more likely that they preserve the original reading, other things being equal.
                      The Majority Text is about correction of typos, and Vulgate interpolations put into the Textus Receptus. There is nothing about advocating the King James Version, or the Beza specific form of the text which in itself is like any 15th-16th century printed greek new testament of the time-- seriously flawed, though not as seriously as the 1914 Patriarchate Orthodox bible. It would seem that the critical text is even worse on all that, even. Abbot Jean Gregor is ignored in favor of Tischendorf, Wescott, and Hort.

                        Wow, Reece's failure to respond adequately is most surprising.

                          To this?

                            Also, from page 189 of The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration (Oxford University Press, 2005), by Bruce M. Metzger and Bart D. Ehrman:
                            Though absolute accuracy in an extensive critical apparatus is probably unattainable, where von Soden's work can be tested, it has been found to contain a higher percentage of errors than is usually considered to be consistent with trustworthy scholarship.

                              Would you be willing to look at this image two? Scrivener Citation.jpgIt isn't surprising that Von Soden's apparatus has errors either. There evidently isn't one expert who would deny it, but it is still used to determine what the common greek text is. And 'daily' isn't in it, since only Jerome quotes it as part of his Old Latin version, but the Old Latin version doesn't have it. One is hard pressed to find another Greek or Latin quote of it among the Church Fathers. I find it incredible that the Orthodox church bent over and accepted the interpolation.

                                I think John Burgeon summarizes the fraudulent inclusion best:
                                Its origin is not far to seek. Chrysostom, in a certain place, after quoting our Lord’s
                                saying about taking up the cross and following Him, remarks that the words ‘do not mean
                                that we are actually to bear the wood upon our shoulders, but to keep the prospect of death
                                steadily before us, and like St. Paul to “die daily”376.’ The same Father, in the two other
                                places already quoted from his writings, is observed similarly to connect the Saviour’s
                                mention of ‘bearing the Cross’ with the Apostle’s announcement—‘I die daily.’ Add, that
                                Ephraem Syrus377, and Jerome quoted already,—persistently connect the same two places
                                together; the last named Father even citing them in immediate succession;—and the inference
                                is unavoidable. The phrase in St. Luke ix. 23 must needs be a very ancient as well as very
                                interesting expository gloss, imported into the Gospel from 1 Cor. xv. 31,—as Mill378 and
                                Matthaei379 long since suggested.
