    In 15 minutes even. Well done, James.
    Snapp makes a compelling case to refute the idea of a floating PA (w/ regard to 5 alternative locations). His case is largely circumstantial, but that is to be expected. The idea that copyists were trying to retro fit PA into a variety of places w/i the four gospels to ‘legitimize’ it seems effectively dead based on the work of Keith, Robinson, and Snapp. Or, have I missed something?
    This, of course, doesn’t tell us anything about the originality of PA w/i John or whether the initial variation in the tradition regarding PA was an interpolation or a removal/loss. That’s a separate question.

      Pablo Rupa,
      Because none of that turns false statements into true ones. Dr. Ehrman once claimed that the pericope adulterae originated in the Middle Ages, which is incorrect, and when I mentioned this to Dr. Ehrman, he admitted that he had made a mistake. (He didn't then proceed to take steps to stop the mistake from circulating, as far as I know, but at least that's something.)
      If you were to ask Dr. Ehrman how much training he has had specifically in New Testament textual criticism, I think he would tell you that it amounted to one course at the M.A. level. He is perhaps best-known for the book "Misquoting Jesus" which addresses text-critical questions, but every textual variant he brings up in that book was well-known 100 years earlier; it is just the sensationalism of the marketing of the book (such as the provocative title, and the ridiculous claims in its blurb) that gave it traction.
      People with long, impressive C.V.'s disagree with each other all the time. It's no guarantee of the correctness of accuracy of a particular claim, and to think otherwise would be to invite groupthink and a fallacious appeal to authority rather than to evidence.

      Pablo Rupa,
      I'm not sure the point is registering: a long CV does not guarantee that a researcher is competent; nor that his conclusions are correct.
      But if you need someone with credentials to show you that what I am saying is true, just read Chris Keith's research on this subject; I believe you can find it at Academia. Keith doesn't think that the PA is original, but he has confirmed that it should be proclaimed and preached in the churches. And his work shows (as far as the Greek evidence is concerned; he doesn't explore the versional evidence much) that John 7:53-8:11 followed 7:52 in the text long before it is seen at any other location.

    THE detailed ANSWER. The text below are excerpts from the very detailed PA ‘Pericope de Adultera’ by Wieland Willker 2015 (The Adulteress) which includes text of all the writings referenced below and PA style problems.
    'Overall conclusion: There is absolutely no convincing evidence that the PA was originally part of the Gospel of John. It took a long time until its universal acceptance. The story is very old. It has been transmitted probably both through oral tradition and in apocryphal Gospels. 5th century Codex Bezae {Latin-Greek} is the earliest Bible manuscript witness to the Pericope Adulterae.
    Silent Fathers: Cyprian. Origen and Chrysostom wrote commentaries about the Gospel of John, but did not discuss the PA. Tertullian (ca. 200-220 CE): Tertullian is an important witness against the PA. In "De Pudicitia" (On Modesty) Tertullian has become disgusted with the complacent willingness to forgive almost anything, evinced especially by an edict of a bishop, allowing adultery and fornication. In the 2nd century, Papias knows about this story. There is a 3rd century story in the Didascalia Apostolorum that mentions a woman accused of adultery who the elders had not condemned and Jesus said go your way. Didascalia is notoriously inexact in his quotations. [Catholic Encyclopedia "Didascalia"] {ed. - The 4th century is the FIRST occurrence that included ‘cast a stone’} - in Didymus' Commentary on Ecclesiastes, according to the Tura Papyrus. 5th century Codex Bezae {Latin-Greek} is the earliest Bible manuscript witness to the Pericope Adulterae. It is possible that the first manuscripts that had the PA in John were Latin ones. {Roman Catholic} There are a few other traces of apocryphal material in the Latin codices. In the early 6th century manuscripts are known to contain the PA in Alexandria, probably even already in the 5th century. Around the 8th century the final lectionary system has been set up in the East from an NT text probably without the PA. "Although the oldest Syriac versions of John omit the PA, some later Syriac manuscripts include it either after John 7:52, in the margin, or as an appendix to the entire Gospel. In several of these manuscripts, ranging from the 9th to the 15th century, the passage is accompanied by a note claiming that it derived from a certain 'Abbot Paul', who found it in Alexandria. ' {It is reported regarding the Latin-Greek Codex Bezae, that in general the Greek text is treated as an unreliable witness.}

      ChristFirstChurch,
      If you take in hand my e-book, "A Fresh Analysis of John 7:53-8:11," you can see my interaction with the same data that Willker cites. Most of his data is valid but I don't think the solution of an early lection-cycle-related omission ever crossed his mind. Also, it should be noted (as I do in my book) that Willker has misconstrued the annotation in family-1 that relates to the PA; the reference is to the 86th Eusebian Section of John, not to what Willker misinterpreted as an abbreviation for "fathers."
      You are welcome to contact me via FB to request a free copy of my e-book, which I hope that you may compare in force and thoroughness to Willker's assessment.

      TCC,
      Wieland and I had many text-critical discussions.
      I do not think that he gave adequate attention to the lection-cycle-related solution.
      Also, the use of a Latinized term, based on Greek, in the Latin breves, indicates that a Greek source preceded the Latin.

    “Throw the first stone” story is the only story in the Bible that manuscript experts agree is not part of the original text, even though scribes counted words in manuscripts. The 5th century Codex Bezae {Latin-Greek} is the earliest Bible manuscript evidence of the Adulteress Woman story. This story is communicated by Catholic fathers like Jerome in the 5th century, but not by Greek fathers until the 12th century. Did Catholic writers ADD this adulteress story to the Bible? in order to tolerate adultery.
    NIV footnote John 7.53: [The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7.53-8.11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7.36, John 21.25, Luke 21.38 or Luke 24.53.]
    NASB footnote John 7.53 Later mss add the story of the adulterous woman, numbering it as John 7.53-8.11
    For centuries, especially today, people and false teachers in the church and Bible translators have tried to minimize the commands of the LORD which prohibit divorce and adultery. Throw the first stone is the favorite story quoted by unbelievers/feminists, and it appears in many of the movies about the life of Jesus.
    "This story is not included in the best and earliest manuscripts [of John]. In fact, it is absent from all
    witnesses earlier than the 9th century, with the exception of a fifth century Greek-Latin manuscript.
    No Greek church father comments on the passage prior to the 12th century."
    - Jamieson et al, "The New Commentary on the Whole Bible", Tyndale, Wheaton IL (1990), P. 247-248
    "The most ancient authorities lack 7.53-8.11; other authorities add the passage here or after 7.36 or after 21.25
    or after Luke 21.38, with variations of text; some mark the passage as doubtful. Scholars generally agree that this
    story was not originally part of the Gospel of John." - p 1830 Harper Collins Study Bible
    Around the year 220, Catholic writer Tertullian wrote in "De Pudicitia" about the complacent willingness to forgive almost anything, evinced especially by an edict of a bishop, allowing adultery and fornication.

      @JamesSnappJr  5 років тому +5

      That all seems reasonable, doesn't it. However, there is a simple mechanism that accounts for the early loss of the passage. There is also early evidence for the passage which none of the resources you have cited mention. Please read my book, "A Fresh Analysis of John 7:53-8:11" for details. It is available as a Kindle book, cheap, or contact me for a free digital copy.

      TruthChristianChurch,
      Your statement, "This story is communicated by Catholic fathers like Jerome in the 5th century, but not by Greek fathers until the 12th century" is not accurate. It appears that you are laboring under the burden of the assumption that Bruce Metzger's Textual Commentary gives an accurate picture of the relevant evidence on this subject. It does not. Jerome affirmed that he had seen the account of the adulteress in many copies, **both Greek and Latin.** It is in about 1500 Greek manuscripts. Please read the materials which are readily available to you (in my research-book, and at my blog) to become better acquainted with the relevant materials.

      It ought to be super-obvious that it would be folly to expect a book that was written c. A.D. 90 to be quoted in the first century, inasmuch as 9/10ths of the first century had already gone when the Gospel of John was written.

    Are the gospels legends?
    Another point is that on that view you would have to regard the accounts of the Man as being legends. Now, as a literary historian, I am perfectly convinced that whatever else the Gospels are they are not legends. I have read a great deal of legend and I am quite clear that they are not the same sort of thing. They are not artistic enough to be legends. From an imaginative point of view they are clumsy, they don’t work up to things properly. Most of the life of Jesus is totally unknown to us, as is the life of anyone else who lived at that time, and no people building up a legend would allow that to be so. Apart from bits of the Platonic dialogues, there are no conversations that I know of in ancient literature like the Fourth Gospel. There is nothing, even in modern literature, until about a hundred years ago when the realistic novel came into existence. In the story of the woman taken in adultery we are told Christ bent down and scribbled in the dust with His finger. Nothing comes of this. No one has ever based any doctrine on it. And the art of inventing little irrelevant details to make an imaginary scene more convincing is a purely modern art. Surely the only explanation of this passage is that the thing really happened? The author put it in simply because he had seen it.
