I have been looking at some images of old manuscripts including the spectacular Codex Sinaiticus. However, I have been trying to identify the passage a page is showing and my Greek just isn’t up to the job. Can someone help me identify the book, chapter, and verse of this page (just the top left of the left page, I can follow it from there)? As is common from this time there are no spaces between the words and it is all in uncials. This is my best transliteration, though in a couple of places, the distinction between lambda and alpha isn’t clear.

      Link Hudson because the Synoptics include things closely associated with Peter, things before Matthew joined the disciples, because Mark became Peter’s assistant, because Luke was well acquainted with Simon Peter. Most of all because Peter was the chief spokesman among the disciples and set the framework for preaching and presenting the gospel.

      Consider just how much in these gospels specifically include Peter.

      Philip Williams I took it as that as evidence of Peter’s prominent role among the disciples. If was more outspoken, the other apostles could have heard him tell the story, which could have contributed to how it was presented. I was wondering if you would talk about events that Peter would have experienced like the transfiguration.

      Link Hudson yes, the transfiguration, his sick mother-in-law, his rebukes by Jesus, his denial of Jesus…!

    John Mushenhouse Duane L Burgess since neither Philip Williams nor Link Hudson know Greek they blindly talk about Peter Matthew and Q All and while the text is from Luke 22:20, starting with “τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐν τῷ αἵματί μου τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐκχυννόμενον….”
