The Bezan ("Western") text of Acts is traditionally dismissed as
the work of an enthusiastic and fanciful scribe who embellished the
original text represented by the Alexandran manuscripts. This study
compares the language of Codex Bezae with that of Codex Sinaiticus
and Codex Vaticanus, using the approach of discourse analysis to
re-assess how variant readings have arisen. It emerges that the
language patterns of the Alexandrian text are variable and the
focus of its message historical. In contrast, the Bezan text
displays an exceptional degree of lingusitic consistency and a
coherence of purpose which is essentially theological, with a
marked interest in a Jewish point of view. The conclusion is that
Bezan is the earlier of the two texts.
