“Oh! There you are Valjean! I’m so glad to see you! I can’t believe you forgot the candlesticks! Their made of pure silver as well…please take them with the forks and spoons I gave you.”

“Jean Valjean, my brother, you no longer belong to evil, but to good. I have bought your soul from you. I take you back from evil thoughts and deeds and the spirit of Hell, and I give it to God.”

Then they all went home, but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.

John 7:53 - 8:2 (NIV)

Textual criticism

- There are ten existing manuscripts of Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars (composed between 58 and 50 BC).

- There are twenty manuscripts of Livy’s Roman History written roughly during the time when Jesus was alive.

There are total of 5,801 New Testament manuscripts.

The variations that the textual critics have found are NOT the kind that would change ANY Christian doctrine.

It is reassuring at the end to find that the general result of all these discoveries and all this study is to strengthen the proof of the authenticity of the Scriptures, and our conviction that we have in our hands, in substantial integrity, the veritable Word of God.
