You can download my latest edition of Mark here. Below is an image of 059, with the variant being in the middle of the second line. The papyrus 059 is damaged here, but it looks like there is not room enough for the longer Byzantine reading, and it looks like there is a C (sigma) before the visible ΑΠΟ. Here is the list of the readings of the manuscripts: NKJV: My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know.ĮMTV: Therefore my way of life from my youth, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews know, KJV: My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews The problem with the text without τε, is that the translations made from it make it sound like the apostle Paul lived his whole life in Jerusalem, when in fact he was from Tarsus in Cilicia before he lived in Jerusalem. NIV: The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem.ĭRP: My manner of life since youth therefore, which took place at first in my own country and also in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews. Here is how the English text reads in some translations with the word τε in their source text: The variant is the presence or absence of the word τε, which means “and” or “also.” The NA28 and Tyndale House Greek New Testaments contain the word τε, while the Textus Receptus and the Byzantine Majority Text do not contain it.

There is a textual variant in the Greek manuscripts of The Acts of the Apostles chapter 26 verse 4, that affects the accuracy of the translations made from them.
