Mark 16:19–20 — The Ascension, the Apostolic Preaching, and the Closing “Amen”
Mark closes with the ascended Lord enthroned, the disciples preaching everywhere, and the Lord confirming the word. The received text ends with “Amen”; many critical witnesses omit the final seal.
Why this matched: Matched subjects, doctrines, categories, or keywords for “Canon”.
Mark 3:14 — “Whom He Also Named Apostles”: Addition or Omission?
The Textus Receptus moves from the appointment of the Twelve directly to their purpose. Many witnesses insert “whom he also named apostles,” the exact naming clause found in Luke 6:13.

Mark 3:32 — “Thy Brethren and Thy Sisters”: Does the Reference to the Sisters Belong?
Some witnesses tell Jesus that his mother, brothers, and sisters are outside. The received text mentions only his mother and brothers, agreeing with the family’s arrival and Jesus’ reply.

Mark 6:22 — Herodias’s Daughter or Herod’s Daughter Herodias?
The received reading identifies the dancer as Herodias’s own daughter. A difficult critical form can be read as Herod’s daughter named Herodias, conflicting with the narrative’s next identification.

Mark 8:35 — “For My Sake and the Gospel’s”: Is the Gospel Clause Authentic?
The received and principal critical texts include both loyalties: Christ and the gospel. A limited variant omits the gospel clause, often under influence from the shorter Synoptic parallels.

Mark 1:1 — “Jesus Christ, the Son of God”: Does the Full Title Belong?
The opening line of Mark varies at its final title. The question is not whether Mark presents Jesus as God’s Son, but whether “the Son of God” stood in the Gospel’s first sentence.
Why this matched: Matched subjects, doctrines, categories, or keywords for “Canon”.
Mark 1:2 — “In the Prophets” or “in Isaiah the Prophet”? The Opening Citation
Mark introduces a composite citation with either “in the prophets” or “in Isaiah the prophet.” The difference forces a question about quotation formulas, not about whether Scripture contains an error.

A Scholastical History of the Canon of the Holy Scripture
Alternate title: The Works of the Right Reverend Father in God John Cosin, Volume the Third
Oxford: John Henry Parker, 1849.
Cosin's learned historical defense of the canon received in the Church of England surveys patristic, conciliar, medieval, and later testimony concerning the canonical and apocryphal books. The 1849 editor verifies and expands Cosin's many source references and follows the 1657 first edition…

Providence Smuggled into the Apparatus
God's universal providence governs the survival of every manuscript. It does not reveal that a particular manuscript was preserved to correct the church's Bible. Treating survival as such a revelation confuses providence with a hidden canon.

Preserved or Merely Recoverable?
Part Seventeen distinguished the infallible canonical text from the fallible artifacts that witness to it. God did not immediately inspire every scribe, printer, editor, or translator. Yet the fallibility of particular witnesses does not imply that the inspired text disappeared with the…

The Missing Verses Return in Double Brackets: What Counts as the Main Text?
UBS6 restores every numbered verse to the running Greek text while marking disputed additions with double brackets. The change improves visibility but forces a precise distinction between printed location, editorial adoption, and canonical authority.
