Hebrews 9:11

:TEXT: “a high priest of the good things that have happened”

p46 B D* 1739 two lat syr(p,h,pal)

ASVn RSV NASVn NIV NEB TEV RANK: CNOTES: “a high priest of the future good things”

KJV ASV RSVn NASV NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Perhaps the phrase “future good things” was borrowed by copyists from Hebrews 10:1. The text reading is found in early manuscripts of both the Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text.

Hebrews 9:14

KJV ASV RSV : “cleanse the conscience from dead works”

The UBS Textual Committee preferred the reading “our” because elsewhere the writer uses direct address (that is, “plyou”) only in the exhortation sections of the letter.

Hebrews 9:17

:TEXT: “since it is never in force”

all other manuscripts

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: -NOTES: “since it is not then in force”

S* D*

NASVnCOMMENTS: The difference in the two readings is between a “P” and a “T”; since the Greek “P” or Pi is written like a “T” with two vertical strokes, the reading in the notes is undoubtedly due to a mistake of the eye.

Hebrews 9:19

:TEXT: “he took the blood of calves and he-goats, with water”

S* A C P 33 81 104 614 630 Byz Lect most lat vg cop

KJV ASV RSV NASV TEV RANK: CNOTES: “he took the blood of calves, with water”

p46 Sc K L Psi 1241 1739 1881 2495 syr(p,h,pal)

NIV : “he took the blood of he-goats and calves, with water”

D 365 three lat

The words “and he-goats” are in brackets in the UBS text. Although it is possible that they were added from verse Hebrews 9:12, since the words “calves” and “he-goats” end with the same two letters, it is more likely that they were accidently omitted due to a mistake of the eye.
