A website designed to foster discussion and to employ the canons of New Testament textual criticism to determine the earliest form of the transmitted text of the New Testament through a systematic study of every difference between the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum graece (28th ed., 2012) and the Robinson-Pierpont The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform (2005).

Matt 5:1 προσηλθον
There is little reason to follow the primarily Egyptian orthographical preference of the few manuscripts that read προσηλθαν (ℵ* B* pc), just as Weiss (85) writes regarding ηλθον in its simple and compound forms, that "the ending in -αν is found only 9 times in B, sporadically in ℵ, D, L, only 6 times where 2 of them agree and 2 times where all three agree, so it is very improbable that this writing convention goes back to the most ancient text.” See also Matt 2:5 ειπον and Matt 7:13 εισελθετε.
