Dan Wallace

In a YouTube video, Dan Wallace made the following claims:

“...in Matthew chapter 10 verse 8, it says in the later manuscripts, that Jesus tells his disciples to “heal the sick, cast out demons” and some other things. But in some of the oldest manuscripts it says “heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons”, but that's not found in the King James Bible, it is found not found in the majority of later manuscripts, but this manuscript that normally goes along with these later manuscripts also have that reading that was found just in the older manuscripts “raise the dead”. This is fascinating! I think it is making a contribution to the original wording of the New Testament at Matthew chapter 10 verse 8...”

Wallace's claims that the KJV doesn’t have “raise the dead” here, is clearly false:

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

So 2907 says:

ἀσθενοῦντας θεραπεύετε νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε λεπροὺς καθαρίζετε. δαιμόνιαί ἐκβάλλετεν. δωρεὰν ἐλάβετε, δωρεὰν δότε.

Scrivener's 1881 TR has:

ἀσθενοῦντας θεραπεύετε, λεπροὺς καθαρίζετε, νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε, δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλετε. δωρεὰν ἐλάβετε, δωρεὰν δότε.

The main difference isn't in the words, but in the arrangement of them. 2907 puts "νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε" first and the TR puts "νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε" first.

Dean Burgon, who started the modern Majority Text movement placed doubt on the reading “raise the dead”, and modern Majority Text Greek editions omit it:

Ἀσθενοῦντας θεραπεύετε, λεπροὺς καθαρίζετε, δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλετε· δωρεὰν ἐλάβετε, δωρεὰν δότε. (RP Byzantine Majority Text 2005)
