The text I have printed here is to help you be able to transcribe the first eight verses of Mark in Codex Washingtonianus. The text is that of Nestle-Aland 27th edition. YOU WILL FIND SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN CODEX W! I have broken the lines at the correct spots. Beneath this text, write in the text of Codex W. The text is that of Nestle-Aland 27th edition. YOU WILL FIND SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN CODEX W! There is a lengthy insertion between verses 3 and 4. Try to discover where it comes from. Use your NET Bible or a Nestle-Aland (blue) Greek NTso that you can see how it tries to catalog the variants.

ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ

Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ [υἱοῦ θεοῦ]. 2Καθὼς γε

γραπται ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ· ἰδοὺ α

ποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώ

που σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου·

3φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἑτοιμάσα

τε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρι

βους αὐτοῦ, ||-NOT in NA27-|| πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσε ται καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθή

σεται καὶ ἔσται πάντα τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐ

θεῖαν καὶ ἡ τραχεῖα εἰς πεδία καὶ ὀφθή

σεται ἡ δόξα κυρίου καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ

σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν φωνὴ

λέγοντος βόησον καὶ εἶπα τί βοήσω

πᾶσα σὰρξ χόρτος καὶ πᾶσα δόξα ἀνθρώπου

ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος καὶ

τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν μένει

εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ||-end W insertion-|| 4ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης

[ὁ] βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων

βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρ
