As I have been learning biblical Greek, I have noticed different variations in translations. For instance:
Jude 1:5 ESV says, "Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe."
However, Jude 1:5 KJV says, "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. "
It's obvious that Lord and Jesus are two seperate words in Greek (Kryios-Lord; Iesous-Jesus).
After seeing the note in the ESV Study bible it had me wondering what are the different manuscripts out there. The note says, "Most of the oldest and most reliable manuscripts have Iesous ("Jesus"). Can anybody share the main different types of manuscripts and how they are dated?
God Bless,
