Novum Testamentum Graece

The Novum Testamentum Graece (NA28) is the worldwide standard among the Greek editions of the New Testament.

ΝΑ28 boasts a revised text-critical apparatus that has been both expanded and simplified. The linking of variants by “sed” or “et” and the distinction between consistently cited witnesses of the first and second order have been removed. In addition, this NA28 includes readings from the recently discovered Papyri 117–127 for the first time, opening up interesting perspectives particularly for the Acts of the Apostles.

The Catholic Epistles in this edition have been made consistent with the Editio Critica Maior, resulting in more than 30 modifications in the main text and a completely revised text-critical apparatus that includes a new selection of witnesses and variants. The cross-references in the margin were also systematically reviewed and revised, and references to early Jewish literature were added.
