Bible Query - Early Manuscripts of Mark

October 27, 2022 version

Q: In Mk, what are early New Testament manuscripts?

A: Here are many of them.

p45 Chester Beatty I (all 4 gospels and Acts) (100-150 A.D.) (formerly thought to be late 2nd or early 3rd century A.D.) (Mk 4:36-5:2; 5:16-26; 5:38-6:3; 2 letters of 6:15; 6:16-25, 36-50; 7:3-15; 7:25-8:1; 8:10-26; 8:34-9:8; 4 letters of 9:9; 9:18-31; 11:27-12:1; 12:5-8,13-19,24-28 [147 verses]) The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts has a photograph showing part of p45 on p.146. On p.150-151 it says that the copy was a loose paraphrase, where he tries to bring out the thought of each phrase. A General Introduction to the Bible p.389 says the original scroll is thought to be about 220 leaves, of which we have 30 leaves. 6 of those leaves are from Mark.

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

3rd century - 1975 - Aland et al. Third Edition

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

Late 2nd or early 3rd century - 1999 - The Complete Text of the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts.

p84 Mk 2:2-5,8-9; 6:30-31,33-34; 36-37, 39-41 also John 5:5; 17:3,7-8 (6th century)

p88 Mk 2:1-26 (4th century)

Vaticanus (325-350 A.D.), Sinaiticus (340-350 A.D.), and Alexandrinus (c.450 A.D.) have all of Mark.

The Washington Codex (4th/5th century) has preserved all of Mark except Mark 15:13-38.

In cave 7 at Qumran, Jose O’Callaghan found a papyrus, dated 50 A.D., which might be fragments of the Gospel of Mark. However, The Expositor’s Bible Commentary volume 8 p.608 says this “has been largely rejected by NT scholars (cf. EBC 1:420-421, n.1). The evidence O’Callaghan presents is far too fragmentary to be reliable.”

Carston Thiede claims Mark 6:52-53 is preserved in cave 7 at Qumran as scroll 7Q5. This is controversial though, with a majority of conservative Bible scholars not accepting this. While even his critics claim 7Q5 might actually be Mark 6:52-53, the fragment is so difficult to read most scholars say one cannot conclude either way.

Bohairic Coptic 3rd/4th century

Sahidic Coptic 3rd/4rth century

Armenian [Arm] from 5th century

Georgian [Geo] from 5th century

Ethiopic [Eth] from c.500 A.D.

Sinaitic Syriac 4th-7th century

Palestinian Syriac [Syr Pal] from c.6th century

Peshitta Syriac [Syr P] 411-435 A.D. Over 350 manuscripts.

Harclean Syriac [Syr H] 616.A.D Thomas of Harkel

The surviving quotes from the heretic Pelagius do not refer to Mark.

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

A: The Gospel of Mark has a total of 11,270 Greek words in 678 verses. This is the count in Aland et al. 5th revised edition, 4th revised edition, and 3rd edition, including 248 words in brackets. The text of the 3rd edition is on-line at http://www.greekbible.com. The Gospel of Mark has an estimated word-for-word accuracy of 94.90 %, with 575 words in question. These are in 169 verses (174 places), out of about 678 total verses. Of the 174 places, 81 are single word, 48 are double word, and 20 are triple word.

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.

Therefore, reveal thy righteouness now’ – thus they spoke to Christ. And Christ replied to them, ‘The term of years of Satran’s power has been fulfilled, but other terrible things draw near. And for those who have sinned I was delivered over to death, that they may return to the truth and sin no more, in order that they may inherit the spiritual and incorruptible glory of righteousness which is in heaven.” The Expositor’s Bible Commentary vol.8 p.790.

This chart shows the variations of some of the manuscripts of Mark, 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.

Here are 31 early manuscripts and wirters who quoted from Mark. I did not include the following writers who quoted Mark: Celsus according to Origen, Apostolic Constitutions, Chromatius, Juvencus, Hesychius, Epiphanius, Asterius, Serapion, Cyril of Jerusalem, Severian, Hesychius (Mk 16:8, etc.), Eusebius, Basil, Epiphanius, Ambrosiaster, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Varimadum, Tyconius (Mk 16:2), Proclus (Mk 15:5, etc.), Polychronius (Mk 13:2, etc.), Faustus-Milevis, Nestorius
