I Love Ehrman , Mills , and Robinson . I love their scholarship. I am a secular Jew who neither knows Hebrew or Greek . But I wish that we would not think of any view of any passage as wrong. During several centuries, the Jews thought the Torah had 144,00 correct interpretations ; one for every Jew in every tribe. Maybe , they were right .
Small nitpick: the whole point of the Western Non-Interpolations is that the shorter reading occurs in Codex Bezae, the Old Latin, the Old Syriac, and scattered other things. All the usual headline witnesses look like the Majority Text in these places. There is an argument to be advanced (which nobody ever has, because of the assumption that Luke wrote Acts) that something very interesting happens with verbs of saying in the same passages - basically the Luke of the Gospel eschews ἔφη, and the distribution of witnesses against its use in the same passages looks eerily similar - basically the Hesychian redactor couldn't help himself and betrayed that he was messing with that part of Luke. But never mind all that serious stuff. You guys are so lucky to have been in North Carolina in our own times - there's an amazing concentration of utter NT legends there.
Thank God for Bart D. Ehrman, and graduates from Duke University who can reach back all the way from North America to the Middle East and the Roman empire to tell us the truth about Jesus Christ, and how the Church has been deceiving us all along - Jesus is so lucky to have you!
They are trying, rather than putting your head into the sand and screaming "don't ask any questions, you can't ask questions, how dare you ask questions!!!!"
You have been missed so much Laura !!
Nice overview TY

No need to be so conspiratorial
