Acts 17:26: God made of one [blood] every ethnicity of humans: Part A: Appraising Greek Manuscripts

Zusammenfassung:Paul proclaimed, “God made of one [blood] every ethnicity of humans …” (Acts 17:26). Most early sources read “of one blood” here, including 453 Greek manuscripts, many ancient language manuscripts, plus Irenaeus, Chrysostom, and Augustine. A few other manuscripts read simply “of one,” including Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, and P74. This Part A paper appraises the Greek manuscript readings for this passage, in the context of the attested readings at other Acts passages. Compared to other Acts passages with a distinctly Byzantine reading, this “of one blood” Byzantine reading at Acts 17:26 exhibits the most attestation, support, and connectivity. Our appraisal employs Editio Critica Maior III, the ECM computer apparatus, ECM’s Coherence Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) Flow Diagram, and other sources. Another Part B companion paper (Cannon 2025) focuses on patristic witnesses and other ancient language manuscripts at these Acts passages.
