I uploaded today to academia.edu a revision of the TR that I put together for the gospel of Luke. The idea behind this work has been to produce a critical edition of the TR. So, the variant apparatus shows where the text is already well supported by antiquity and diversity, considering Greek manuscripts, the versional evidence and patristic writings. Nevertheless, I have chosen to maintain some minority readings in the text such as Luke 17:36 as this verse may have been accidentally lost by parablepsis in the Alexandrian and Byzantine transmission lines. I’m not convinced that this verse was imported from Matthew 24:40 once the wording is different and the sequence of events is in transposed order. Similarly, I preserved Luke 9:55-56 in the text because of its early patristic attestation (going back at least to the 200’s with Cyprian and possibly the 100’s with the Diatessaron) and the risk of parablepsis or intentional removal to avoid the idea that Elijah and Jesus are somewhat in opposition to each other, being of “different spirits”. I also made textual corrections where the evidence clearly supports it like Luke 2:22 where “their purification” is overwhelmingly attested in Greek manuscripts, the versions and patristic writings against “her purification” plus improvements in other texts with translational impact like Luke 1:75, 2:21, 3:2, 3:19, etc.
I’ve double-checked everything, but I welcome any feedback
regarding errors in the Greek text, the English translation, or the critical
apparatus. This work is dedicated to the public domain, and it can be accessed
