New Testament Second division of the Christian biblical canon

The New Testament is the second part of the Christian biblical canon, the first being the Old Testament. The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. Christians regard both the Old and New Testaments together as sacred scripture.

Byzantine text-type The largest of the three major groups of New Testament Greek texts

The Byzantine text-type is one of several text-types used in textual criticism to describe the textual character of Greek New Testament manuscripts. It is the form found in the largest number of surviving manuscripts, though not in the oldest. The New Testament text of the Orthodox Church, the Patriarchal Text, as well as those utilized in the lectionaries, is based on this text-type. While considerably varying, it also underlies the Textus Receptus Greek text used for most Reformation-era translations of the New Testament into vernacular languages. Modern translations mainly use Eclectic editions that conform more often to the Alexandrian text-type.

Description

The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden and designated by him with the symbol K1. [1] Wisse included this group to the Kx (and Ki), and according to him it is the only subgroup or cluster of Kx. [2] But the opinion of Wisse is based on a small sample size, only three chapters of Luke — chapters 1; 10; and 20. Based on age alone, it appears that K1 is independent of Kx. [3] The leading members of the group, according to Soden, are manuscripts S, V, and Ω.

Hermann, Freiherr von Soden German Biblical scholar

Baron Hermann von Soden was a German Biblical scholar, minister, professor of divinity, and textual theorist.

According to Soden the group K1 is the oldest form of the Kappa–text, dating from the 4th century and resulting from Lucian's recension. [4]

Lucian of Antioch Christian martyr, presbyter and theologian

Saint Lucian of Antioch, known as Lucian the Martyr, was a Christian presbyter, theologian and martyr. He was noted for both his scholarship and ascetic piety.

The texts of Matthew 16:2b–3 (the signs of the times), Luke 22:43-44, John 5:3.4, and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53–8:11) are marked with an asterisk (※) as doubtful. The text of Mark 16:8-20 has not numbered by κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top. [5]

Matthew 16:2b–3

Gospel of Matthew 16:2b–3, the passage describes a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees and Sadducees over their demand for a sign from heaven. It is one of several passages of the New Testament that are absent from many early manuscripts. The authenticity of the passage has been disputed by scholars since the second half of the 19th century.

Jesus and the woman taken in adultery passage from the Gospel of John

Jesus and the woman taken in adultery is a passage (pericope) found in the Gospel of John 7:53–8:11, that has been the subject of much scholarly discussion.

An asterisk (*); from Late Latin asteriscus, from Ancient Greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, "little star", is a typographical symbol or glyph. It is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a star.

The group probably evolved from Family E. It represents the earliest stage of the Kappa-text.

Family E is a textual group of the New Testament manuscripts. It belongs to the Byzantine text-type as one of its textual families, it is one of the primary early families of the Byzantine text-type. The name of the family came from the symbol of Codex Basilensis, the lead manuscript of the family, which is designated by symbol E.
