In the Gospels of the Codex Vaticanus, Dean Burgon was stunned to discover that 2877 words had been 'deleted' and 536 words 'added'. He also noted that 935 words were 'substituted' (changed), and 2098 words were 'transposed', meaning that an alternative name or word was written in the place of an original name or word. He added that 1132 words in the Codex Vaticanus had been 'modified', and his comments left biblical researchers with great uncertainty as to what oldest Bibles once really said. Thus, from Dean Burgon's two decades of work, we find a total of 7578 perversions in the Codex Vaticanus, and his equivalent figures for the Codex Sinaiticus reveal even greater differences from the ancient original. For example, he recognised that in the Codex Sinaiticus, 3455 words were 'deleted', 839 words were 'added', 1114 words were 'substituted', 2299 words were 'transposed', and 1265 words were 'modified', making a total of 8972 artificial adjustments to what the Church claims is the 'unadulterated word of God'.
