I've Done It

Just before Christmas I got this poster of two pages from Codex Sinaiticus from the British Library shop. See me earlier post here.

There is no note on the poster as to which pages are on view. But, I worked it out. Sorry for sounding so chuffed, but there go you.

The first line of the first column on the left hand page is from Luke 22:20b,

the first two characters are the final two letters of the word touto 'this', to poterion 'the cup' and the final charater is the feminine definite article which goes with the phrase 'the new covenant'.

The final line on the eigth column, or the forth column on the right hand page is from Luke 23:14c,

again the first three characters are the end of a word, umon 'you' the final characters make the word anakrinas 'examine', in this form an active Aorist participle. There are from the phrase 'after examining him before you', which Pilate says to the Jews.

So the poster covers the text from Lk 22:20c to Lk 23:14c. Of interest in this section is 22:43-44, which are in double brackets in NA27 and marked in English versions as not being included in some manuscripts. The NA27 footnotes suggest omission of these verses as not being in papyri 75 nor in aleph 1 (codex Sinaiaticus 1), however, they text is found in aleph 2 (codex Sinaiticus 2) which is what is reproduced on the poster!
Metzger has a helpful note on these verses in his textual commentary.
