scribe, first in the margin as explanatory,
and then afterward in the text, as if it
were a part of the Divine work and it
ought to be expelled.
o. How did the King James transla-
tons come to include it, under such circum-
stances2 A. 1t is said that Erasmus, in
making up his Testament, declared himself
willing to insert that text if it could be
found in any important Greek manuscript.
It was found in one, n therefore was in
serted by him.
o. Was that an ancient manuscript?
A. No, not very ancient; it was Compare

thoritive the manuscript becomes. They
now go back to the fifth century; probably

The subsequent versions of Tyndale, Gov
erdale, Rodgers, the Bishops Bible, so call
ed, and the Geneva version, were made by
men who understood Greek as well as Lat
in. King James version is based upon
these preceding translations and our re
visers made King James version the basis
Of them, and only depart from it, as 1 un'
