New Testament Greek Manuscripts

Greek03“Today we know of more than 5600 Greek New Testament manuscripts. Among these, 800 Pauline manuscripts, 700 manuscripts of Acts and the general letters, and about 325 manuscripts of Revelation. These numbers do not include the lectionaries, over 2000 of them, that are mostly of the Gospels. At the same time, not all the manuscripts are complete copies. The earlier manuscripts are fragmentary, sometimes covering only a few verses. The later manuscripts, however, generally include at least all four Gospels or Acts and the general letters or Paul’s letters or Revelation.”

– Dr. Dan Wallace (from the article “The Number of Textual Variants: An Evangelical Miscalculation“)
