Yet the class of Substitutions is a large one, if Modifications, as they well may be, are added to it[347]. It will be readily concluded that some substitutions are serious, some of less importance, and many trivial. Of the more important class, the reading of [Greek: hamartematos] for [Greek: kriseos] (St. Mark iii. 29) which the Revisers have adopted in compliance with [Symbol: Aleph]BL[Symbol: Delta] and three Cursives, is a specimen. It is true that D reads [Greek: hamartias] supported by the first corrector of C, and three of the Ferrar group (13, 69, 346): and that the change adopted is supported by the Old Latin versions except f, the Vulgate, Bohairic, Armenian, Gothic, Lewis, and Saxon. But the opposition which favours [Greek: kriseos] is made up of A, C under the first reading and the second correction, [Symbol: Phi][Symbol: Sigma] and eleven other Uncials, the great bulk of the Cursives, f, Peshitto, and Harkleian, and is superior in strength. The internal evidence is also in favour of the Traditional reading, both as regards the usage of [Greek: enochos], and the natural meaning given by [Greek: kriseos]. [Greek: Hamartematos] has clearly crept in from ver. 28. Other instances of Substitution may be found in the well-known St. Luke xxiii. 45 ([Greek: tou heliou eklipontos]), St. Matt. xi. 27 ([Greek: bouletai apokalypsai]), St. Matt. xxvii. 34 ([Greek: oinon] for [Greek: oxos]), St. Mark i. 2 ([Greek: Hesaia] for [Greek: tois prophetais]), St. John i. 18 ([Greek: ho Monogenes Theos] being a substitution made by heretics for [Greek: ho Monogenes Huios]), St. Mark vii. 31 ([Greek: dia Sidonos] for [Greek: kai Sidonos]). These instances may perhaps suffice: many more may suggest themselves to intelligent readers. Though most are trivial, their cumulative force is extremely formidable. Many of these changes arose from various causes which are described in many other places in this book.] Sec. 5.
