The 1 Year Ministry of Christ According to Luke's Chronology

[visionary]

The oldest Greek manuscript fragment for part of the Gospel of John had a different reading and John 6:4 is missing.

John 6:4 (HCSB) Now the Passover, a Jewish festival, was near.

This oldest fragment that the Critical Apparatus of the Nestle Aland had for that chapter, the oldest orginal fragment preserved, is not there, then that verse was not original to John but added later by some scribe centuries later. At least the is one explaination for this discrepency.

This verse has long puzzled me.

A Jewish festival?

Who would John be talking to, who wouldn't already know about Pesach?


Is it a Jewish festival; or is it one of YHWH's eternal Moedim, kadosh for all of his people?

This is nothing new...Michael Rood has been talking about this for MANY YEARS...

So was the claim wrong that the oldest Greek manuscript had a different reading of John 6:4? That link indicates that the only Greek manuscript lacking it is one from the 12th century.
