It was, as they say, in the Bible.

But does it fit the narrative?

Seems like there were other such manuscripts around, they did not fit so snip.

Makes me wonder if there really was 15 Commandments and “something happened.”

Next they’ll tell us that the book of Daniel had a missing 13th and 14th chapter teaching how to kill dragons with hairballs.

IMO, f the text was erased, it probably was because it wasn’t part of the Torah. If it doesn’t line up with the rest of Scripture, it isn’t Inspired.

GOD is the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Yes and No, never Maybe.

No hint at what it says?

Matthew as we have it probably has a few sources: one common to Luke, Mark itself (presumably written with the authority of Peter, since Mark worked for Peter), and an older text which I’ve always presumed to be Hebrew or Aramaic but Syriac is plausible. Is this “found Gospel” from a Gospel of Matthew, or an early version of it? There are many Syriac translations of early bibles, but does this suggest that proto-Matthew was Syriac? Would Levi the apostle also known as Matthew have written in Syriac?

If the author ever, in his wordy article tells what the
hidden text says, I must have missed it.

I just cracked the translation guys using my Syriac dictionary! Here it is:

“And the Lord said unto them, Drink thine ovaltine.” Matthew 12:51

Ultimately, this find is about more than one chapter. It’s a reminder that the Bible, far from being a static document, was shaped over centuries by human hands and decisions. For scholars and believers alike, the chapter offers a chance to reexamine the past while raising new questions about the stories still waiting to be uncovered.

Did God REALLY say....????

Far from being passive transcribers, they actively engaged with the material, reinterpreting and preserving it in ways that reflected their own spiritual and societal realities.

Some "modern" churches do the same and it then ceases to be God's word, it becomes man"s.

Whoever wrote this is clueless. Check the textual apparatus of any Greek New Testament and it will show the known variations of each verse in the New Testament. The idea that scribes in general were free and loose with the text is ludicrous and empirically disprovable.

“Did God really say...?”

We’ve read of someone saying this...somewhere...

So much description about what what they said. Except what they said.

Article sounds as if written by AI.

It contains almost no details about who, what, when, where, and how of this supposed discovery of a new chapter of the Bible.

There are no references cited. No people named. No location either. This story might as well have been created from thin air.

If there is supposedly a missing chapter in the Bible, let’s see it. What exactly does it say? Not vague generalities.

And why should the author (ChatGPT?) make any sort of assertion about the nature of the Bible? Nothing has been studied more than the Bible. This poorly written article making grandiose claims should provide a lot more to go on before giving any advice about the nature of the Bible.

early Christians lived in a world where their beliefs could literally get them killed.

Some things never change.
