Matthew 1:16 — “Joseph the Husband of Mary”: The Text and the Virgin Birth

The Revisers were not forbidden to consider Greek variants. Their own rules expressly authorized textual changes when the evidence was judged decidedly preponderating. The real controversy begins after that fact is admitted: the mandate made a received text answerable to reconstructive judgment.

Matthew 1:25 — “Her Firstborn Son” or Simply “a Son”?

Matthew 2:5 — Did a Copyist Add Micah—or Even Isaiah—to the Prophetic Citation?
