Who Changed The Bible And Why by huxley(m): 1:22am On Oct 26, 2008
Example 1 - Hebrews 2: 9

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
In the many older manuscripts the phrase "apart from God" appears instead of "by the grace of God". Why would scripts have made this change?  Did they have an agenda to further?

Example 2 - Luke 22:  43 - 44

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

These verses are not found in the oldest and best manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke and the occur in no other Gospel.  Did the scribes take them out of the text because they found them strange or did they add them because they found them necessary?

Example 3 - Luke 24: 12

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

This verse is not found in some of the most important manuscript and contains " a disproportionate amount of words and grammatical characteristics not found in Lukes Gospels (or in Acts)" - Bart Ehrman.
