I was reading the book "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman (about how
there were so many errors in the coping of the New Testament that we can't ever know what the original text was) and came across something that might be of interest. He was describing how many manuscripts used abbreviations, and then a scribe would misinterpret the meaning of the abbreviation. Here's an example: 'Similarly, in 1 Cor. 12:13, Paul points out that everyone in Christ has been "baptized into one body" and they have all "drunk of one Spirit." The word "Spirit" (PNEUMA) would have been abbreviated in some manuscripts as PMA [with a bar on top to signify abbreviation], which understandably could be - and was - misread by some scribes as the Greek word for "drink" (POMA), and so in these witnesses Paul is said to indicate that all have "drunk of one drink." ' And I'll drink to that! |
