Bible Query – Early Manuscripts of Hebrews

October 27, 2022 version

Q: In Heb, what are early New Testament manuscripts we have preserved today?

A: Here are many of them.

p12 (285-300 A.D.) Hebrews 1:1

End of 3rd century - 1968 - The Text of the New Testament.

Late 3rd century - 1998 - Aland et al. Fourth Revised Edition

p13 (=Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 657) contains Hebrews 2:14-5:5; 10:8-22; 10:29-11:13; 11:28b-12:17 (c.225-250 A.D.) A photograph of part of this is in The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts p.74. It says on p.75 that out of 88 variation units, p13 and p46 has 71 agreements and only 17 disagreements.

4th century - 1902-1903 - Grenfell and Hunt according to The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts p.73. On p.17 it says Grenfell and Hunt hesitated to date ANY New Testament manuscript earlier than the third century, even though they mentioned the handwriting belonged to the late first or second century.

3rd/4th century, perhaps first half of fourth century - 1968 - The Text of the New Testament also has 11:14-28a, but The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts p.74 says this is missing due to the loss of one column.

3rd/4th century - 1975 - Aland et al. 3rd Edition

3rd/4th century - 1998 - Aland et al. 4th Revised Edition

200-250 A.D. - others

(225-250 A.D.) - 1999 - The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts p.73. Comfort and Barrett on p.73 say that based on very similar handwriting to Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 852 (175-25 A.D.), many similarities to Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 2635 (ca. 200 A.D.). The dating is not earlier than 225 A.D. though, because it is written on the back side of Papyrus 657 (part of the Epitome of Livy’s History of Rome), and this is dated to the third century.

p17 Heb 9:12-19 (late 3rd century)

4th century - 1968 - The Text of the New Testament.

p46 Chester Beatty II ca.200 A.D. 300 of the 303 verses of Hebrews. Specifically it has Hebrews 1:1-9:16; 9:18-10:10; 10:22-30; 10:32-13:25 (290 verses) and other parts of Paul’s letters. The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts has a photograph of part of p46 on p.192. It also says on p.197-198 that the quality and the stichiometric marks show that a professional scribe wrote this.

c.200 A.D. - 1968 - The Text of the New Testament.

About 200 A.D. - 1975 - Aland et al. 3d Edition

About 200 A.D. - 1998 - Aland et al. 4th Revised Edition

Vaticanus (325-350 A.D.) contains all of Hebrews except Hebrews 9:14-13:25 according to Gospel Parallels. A photograph of the first page of Hebrews in Vaticanus is in Lost Christianities p.218

Sinaiticus (340-350 A.D.) and Alexandrinus (c.450 A.D.) contain all of Hebrews.

Q: In Heb, what are the manuscript variations with the Textus Receptus, the basis for the KJV?

A: Jay P. Green, Sr. in the Interlinear Bible records variations in approximately 87 words between the Textus Receptus and the majority text. These are in 55 places. He does not record any additional alternates.

Q: In Heb, what are some of the manuscript variations?

A: The book of Hebrews has a total of 4,953 Greek words in 303 verses. This is the count in Aland et al. 5th revised edition, 4th revised edition, and 3rd edition, including 18 words in brackets. The text of the 3rd edition is on-line at http://www.greekbible.com. Hebrews has an estimated word-for-word accuracy of 98.2%, with 87 words in question. These are in 41 verses (54 places). Of these, 42 are single word, 8 are double word, 1 is triple word, 1 is 4 words, 1 is five words, 1 is seven words, and 1 is ten words.

   Below are the variations with the primary choice and the top alternate choice. Aland et al. 5th revised edition, 4th revised edition, and 3rd edition, from which this primarily is based, also give a judgment of the degree of certainty per variation. The list below does not include many places where the evidence for a particular reading is so strong that the alternatives are very unlikely. See the next question for which manuscripts support which variants.

Q: In Heb, how do the early manuscripts compare with each other?

A: The table below shows each of the places in question, and the number says which variant is in each manuscript.

This chart shows the variations of some of the manuscripts of Hebrews, with the one Aland et al. views as correct labeled as “1”, the next choice “2”, and so on. Corrections to manuscripts by later scribes are not included. A question mark means it is probably but not certain the manuscript had these words. Parentheses means fragmentary or hard to read. Where there is more than one number, such as “1 /2?”, this means that one or more manuscripts in the family give the first choice, and one or more manuscripts are not clear, but appear to give the second choice. A parenthesis, such as (6), means that through translation or loss of letters are not sure, but it appears to support reading 6. There are so many manuscripts and writers that they cannot all be listed here; this shows the most significant early ones. Other writers that are not shown are are Eusebius, Athanasius, Didymus, Gregory-Nyssa, Theodoret, Cyril-Alexandria, Ambrose, Jerome, Caesarius (Heb 11:37)

The witnesses are ordered chronologically, as much as possible.

Columns: blue=Bible manuscript, white = early Christian writer, green=heretical writer, orange=schismatic writer, pink=strange writer

No Irenaeus. Hilary did not quote any verses in question.
