Alteration: Acts 20:28

The expression in Acts 20:28, where it says "the Church of God" in older manuscripts, states "the Church of the Lord."

Misquoting Jesus p. 114

passage in Acts 20:28, which in many manuscripts speaks of "the Church of God, which he obtained by his own blood." Here again, Jesus appears to be spoken of as God. But in Codex Alexandrinus and some other manuscripts, the text instead speaks of "the Church of the Lord, which he obtained by his own blood." Now Jesus is called the Lord, but he is not explicitly identified as God.

It is worth noting that in Hebrew, the word "Rabbi" (רבי) shares a root with a word that can mean "Lord," similar to Arabic. The root is ר-ב-ב (R-B-B), which conveys the basic meaning of "great" or "numerous."

Rabbi (רבי): The literal meaning of this term means "My Lord" or "My Teacher." It is derived from the Hebrew root ר-ב-ב (R-B-B). In Jewish tradition, "Rabbi" is a title used for a Jewish scholar or teacher, especially one who is qualified to interpret Jewish law. So when the Bible uses the term "Lord" in reference to Jesus, it is most likely a literal translation of the word "Rabbi."
