Added Verses In The New Testament?

Q. Was the Bible added to when there are verses that are noted not to be in the original
manuscripts?

A. There are a half dozen or so places in the New Testament where ancient manuscripts differ.  Normally scholars give greater credibility to older manuscripts on the assumption that they’re closer to the originals, and use foot notes to indicate the discrepancy.  But there isn’t any case where an “added” verse creates a material change in the meaning of the text.

It’s important to note that New Testament documents are better preserved and more numerous than any other ancient writings. There are 5,686 Greek manuscripts in existence today for the New Testament, thousands more than for any other ancient text. Because the copies are so numerous, they can be cross checked for accuracy. This process has determined that the internal consistency of New Testament documents is about 99.5% textually pure.
