Luke 6:5 — The Bezan Sabbath Story: How an Ancient Expansion Entered the Record

Mark 13:33 — “Watch and Pray”: Has Prayer Been Removed from the Command?

Mark 14:30, 68, 72 — Once or Twice? The Cock-Crowing Text and Peter’s Denial
Mark’s received sequence predicts two crowings, records the first after Peter’s initial denial, and marks the second after the third. Some witnesses simplify the account to a single crowing in agreement with the other Gospels.

Mark 16:1 — When the Sabbath Was Past: The Women, the Spices, and the Opening of the Resurrection Account

Mark 16:19–20 — The Ascension, the Apostolic Preaching, and the Closing “Amen”

Luke 1:68 — “The Lord God of Israel”: The Opening of Zacharias’s Prophecy

Luke 1:70 — “His Holy Prophets, Which Have Been since the World Began”
The received text includes a second article before “from the age,” giving a slightly fuller description of the holy prophets. The critical text omits that article, with almost no effect on English sense.

Luke 2:33 — Joseph or “His Father”? The Text and Christ’s Virgin Birth
