This book delves into a meticulous examination of the Revised Version of the first three Gospels, meticulously scrutinizing alterations introduced by a committee of revisers in the late 19th century. The author contends that numerous changes, particularly those stemming from modifications to the Greek text, raise concerns regarding the accuracy and theological implications of the revision. Central to the discussion is the revisers' reliance on a select group of ancient manuscripts, namely the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices, often prioritizing their readings over the vast majority of other textual witnesses, including later manuscripts, early versions, and the writings of early Church Fathers. The author argues that this approach overlooks the rich tapestry of textual evidence and potentially undermines the traditional understanding of key passages. Through a detailed analysis of specific examples, the book explores the potential impact of these textual changes on the interpretation of events in Jesus' life, his teachings, and fundamental Christian doctrines. The author raises questions about the revisers' methodology and the implications of their decisions for biblical scholarship and Christian faith. By challenging the supremacy of the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices and advocating for a more comprehensive approach to textual criticism, this book invites readers to engage in a critical reflection on the process of biblical translation and the transmission of the Gospel message across centuries.

Excerpt from The Revised Version of the First Three Gospels Considered in Its Bearings Upon the Record of Our Lord's Words and of Incidents in His Life
1. In considering the points which are discussed in the following pages, I would ask the reader to keep before his mind the conditions under which the consent of the Southern Convocation was given to the work of Revision.
The first proposal was made by the late Bishop of Winchester (Dr. S. Wilberforce), and seconded by the present Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, on the 10th of February, 1870. It was accepted by the Upper House of Convocation, and passed, the same day, in the following terms:
"That a Committee of both Houses be appointed to report on the desirableness of a Revision of the Authorized Version of the Old and New Testaments, whether by marginal notes or otherwise, in those passages where plain and clear errors, whether in the Hebrew or Greek text originally adopted by the translators, or in the translations made from the same, shall on due investigation be found to exist."
