Mark 8:15 — The Leaven of Herod or the Leaven of the Herodians?
The main received and critical texts warn against the leaven of Herod. Some witnesses substitute “the Herodians,” probably recalling the political group named elsewhere in Mark.

Mark 6:11 — “More Tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha”: The Omitted Judgment Saying
The received mission charge ends with a comparison to Sodom and Gomorrah at judgment. The critical text omits the entire sentence, leaving the dust-shaking sign without Christ’s explicit interpretation.

Which Text Did the Reformed Confessions Identify as Authentic?
The confessions name no printer, but they do not point to an unknown future reconstruction. They identify the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures actually received, used, translated, and appealed to by the Reformed churches.

Erasmus and Delitzsch: What Must Be Conceded
Delitzsch’s manuscript evidence must be heard, but rapid production does not prove a reckless race to print, and the final six verses of Revelation cannot be dismissed by the unqualified slogan that Erasmus simply back-translated them from the Vulgate.

The Bible They Cannot Know, Part 1: What Is Being Charged?
The charge is not that every user of a critical edition is personally an atheist. It is that a theory which makes a revisable scholarly reconstruction the final court of textual authority adopts an atheistic epistemology at that point.

Mark 7:24 — The Borders of Tyre and Sidon: Does “Sidon” Belong?

Mark 6:3 — “Is Not This the Carpenter?” A Reading Once Thought Scandalous
The received and modern critical texts call Jesus “the carpenter.” Some witnesses change the phrase to “the carpenter’s son,” apparently aligning Mark with Matthew and avoiding a description once treated as demeaning.

What Scrivener Actually Reconstructed
Scrivener worked backward from the Authorized Version to identify the translators’ earlier Greek choices. He did not translate English into Greek or invent those choices in 1881. The distinction between historical reconstruction and textual authority answers Steele’s central use of the phrase…

Mark 7:19 — “Purging All Meats”: Grammar, Punctuation, and a Modern Interpretive Claim
The Greek word “cleansing” is overwhelmingly secure. The dispute concerns what it modifies and how editors punctuate the sentence: the bodily process or Jesus as narrator who thereby declared all foods clean.

Mark 5:41 — Talitha Cumi: The Aramaic Command and Its Greek Transmission
The Aramaic command survives in several spellings, especially “cumi” and “cum.” The received feminine form suits the girl addressed, while both forms could sound alike in later pronunciation.

The 99 Percent Argument Is Not a Majority-Text Rule
TBS’s appeal to the overwhelming transmission of Mark 16 is a powerful internal criticism of critical-text weighting. It becomes inconsistent only if it is made an absolute counting rule. Steele assumes that universal rule, then uses difficult minority readings to refute a…
