Excerpt from The Variants in the Gospel ReportsThis codex differs from all other copies of the Gospels known to exist up to the present time. Perhaps the most notable divergence is the insertion after Luke vi., 4 of the verse, The same day he beheld a man working on the sabbath, and said to him: Man, if thou knowest what thou art doing, blessed art thou, but if thou knowest not cursed art thou, and a transgressor of the law. The writer of this codex is fond of putting another word for that used in the other copies, for example, God for Lord and Lord for God, and so on. This has been explained as due to trans lation froma Syriac original, but as D differs from the other three mss. Just as the first three Gospels differ from one another, where we get synonymous words in parallel passages, both differences are probably to be explained by the same cause. The order of the Gospels in this ms. Is Matthew, John, Luke, Mark - the order of the western Church, and it is accompanied by a Latin version.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
