Just a little correction. Burgon did not examine the ms., afaik he only had the book from Tischendorf.Biblebeliever said:John William Burgon also examined the Sinaiticus manuscript and this is what he wrote concerning what he found:
"On many occasions 10, 20, 30, 40 words are dropped through very carelessness. Letters and words, even whole sentences, are frequently written twice over, or begun and immediately cancelled; while that gross blunder, whereby a clause is omitted because it happens to end in the same words as the clause preceding, occurs no less than 115 times in the New Testament." (John W. Burgon)
