Did Peter's Vision of the Sheet Mean People & Food?

[malawk]

Quote:You made me smile Greg. You are comparing apples to oranges. The reason for the change in wording is because of the use of different texts. All the versions mentioned except the KJV utulize, Nestle Aland/Wescott and Hort manuscripts, which indeed change the original texts so that translation is different.

Textus Receptus Greek New Testament with Strong's Numbers

Hoping this posts ok...following are the greek from both the TR and NA

TR ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται καθαρίζον πάντα τὰ βρώματα

NA ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἀλλ’ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα

Both of the above taken from blueletterbible.com

Compare the two and you see there is only one difference in one letter between the two in the verse which doesnt change the meaning , TR as an "o(omikron)" in the 4th to last word katharidzon while NA in the same word same letter has an "ω"omega.

"Thus He/Jesus declared" not in at either of TR or the NA greek of the verse "unless" there is another manuscript the newer translations pull from, perhaps someone here knows of it and can post a fragment number.

in the KJV translation Jesus is saying that food is "cleansed by the body"
in the others, Jesus is "declaring all foods clean" two different meanings entirely.

Also noting that the whole context of this has to do with "eating with unwashen hands"

ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν
that not it-is-going-into of-him into the heart but into the

κοιλίαν καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται καθαρίζων πάντα
bowel and into the latrine it-is-going-out cleansing all

τὰ βρώματα
the foods

above transliteration from Interlinear scripture analyzer

As you said Vic, the other translations use the NA/WH text though at least from the above greek I posted we see no crucial difference , the phrase "He declared" is non-existant
