The present section deals with the events concerning the conversion of Peter (Acts 9:31–11:18) whereby he at last comes to understand that the good news of Jesus is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Since the Greek pages of Codex Bezae are missing from 8:29 to 10:14 and the Latin ones from 8:20b to 10:4, we have noted in the Critical Apparatus the variants of other witnesses that differ from the Alexandrian text. From 10:4b (fol. 455a), the Latin text of Codex Bezae is available. The Greek text starts at 10:14b (fol. 455b).

The Variant Readings of the Western Text of the Acts of the Apostles 143 Colophon: 11:26c A â€˜Christianâ€™ Identity In Codex Bezae, the concluding comment for the whole section stands as an independent clause, introduced with ÎºÎ± and with a finite verb. However, in Codex Vaticanus, the verb is an infinitive followed by Ï„Îµ, dependent on the impersonal Î³ Î½ÎµÏ„Î¿ of the previous clause and so can- not stand alone. Translation Codex Bezae D05 Codex Vaticanus B03 Col. 11:26c And it was then in 11:26c â€¦ and that it was in Antioch Antioch that for the first time the that the disciples were called Christians disciples were called Christians. for the first time.

The infinitive in B03 is the third verb (following ÏƒÏ…Î½Î±Ï‡Î¸ Î½Î±Î¹ â€¦ ÎºÎ± Î´Î¹Î´ Î¾Î±Î¹) dependent on the initial impersonal Î³ Î½ÎµÏ„Î¿. D05 begins a new sentence with ÎºÎ± and the finite form of the same verb, conferring greater importance on the information. The difference in the case of Î¼Î±Î¸Î·Ï„Î± arises from the differences in the preceding words. III. The Public Manifestation of the Antioch Church to Jerusalem (Acts 11:27-30) Section III is made up of just one sequence composed of six elements, arranged in pairs so as to form three double elements made up of a main statement followed by a parenthetical comment (though the parenthesis is absent after the first statement in the AT). The overall theme of these few verses is the mutual exchange of spiritual gifts between the church of Antioch and the church in Judaea. The first double element relates the arrival in Antioch of a group of prophets from Hierosoluma (not Ierousalem, cf. 11:22) who put their prophetic gifts at the disposal of the church; an aside in Codex Bezae notes the positive impact their visit had. The central element consists of a prophetic warning concerning a famine which, again in an aside, the narrator confirms actually took place. The
