Codex Bezae Puns

Does anyone know of a tool/resource (Bible software, book, etc...) which would give me a list of every Optative specifically in Codex Bezae?

Alternatively, any one know of a list of optatives found in text variants (not printed in the critical text) that I could sort through for D readings?

The preferred textual reading of Luke 3:22 has God proclaim: "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased" (NRSV).

Codex Bezae and some Old Latin manuscripts also contain the words from LXX Psalm 2:7: "Today I have begotten you."

Do any scholars think these words are original to Luke 3:22? What are the arguments for and against their inclusion here?

What is the accuracy of this claim? Is it a fair position? This is from a religious apologetic source fyi.

Claim "there are several considerations to keep in mind. First, in recent years, several scholars have argued that the text in Mark 16:9–20 is indeed an authentic part of the Gospel of Mark.3 These scholars note that many other early New Testament manuscripts contain these verses,4 and bring a wide array of additional evidence together, making a credible case for the early inclusion of the long ending in Mark’s gospel.5 Because the textual evidence is extremely complex,6 legitimate questions about the history of the long ending of Mark remain, but the possibility that it was an original part of the Gospel of Mark is a defensible position to take.7"

3.See Nicholas P. Lunn, The Original Ending of Mark: A New Case for the Authenticity of Mark 16:9–20 (Eugene, OR: Pickwick Publications, 2014); David W. Hester, Does Mark 16:9–20 Belong in the New Testament? (Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2015). See also, David Alan Black, ed., Perspectives on the Ending of Mark: 4 Views (Nashville, TN: Broadman and Holman, 2008), which presents views from scholars on both sides of the debate.

4.Notably Codex Bezae (about 400 A.D.), Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Ephraemi (fifth century). The long ending of Mark was also known to second-century Christian writers, such as Irenaeus, Tertullian and others.

I know that there is one for Codex Bezae, but what about the other major texts? Is there an English translation of them alone somewhere?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dear Family and Friends,
 

We celebrated Christmas at Scuppernong, in Conley, and at North Myrtle Beach. The season has been exceptional despite its shortcomings. Anne Marie and Shawn could not get away together, nor could Sandy, or Doreen, and we miss Homer and Nicky’s families (which exhausts my list of shortcomings). But we added Danny, Tara’s spanking new husband, to the stir. He held his own in the great philosophical discussions that characterize an outsized portion of our time together. Gordon and Carol Beth made it. Kevin was just home from Iraq. There were the usual meals of unusual magnificence, each contributor’s specialty presented to his or her favorite audience. I gained ten pounds.
 

I got five hours seat time on the first dry beach day, putting to lie once and for all the calumny that I am interested only in bikinis and their contents. I know the glory of the ocean warring with the sand, attacking and retreating with the tides, unlike the Alabama boys at Little Round Top, never failing to rally for one more charge. Without girls gracing creation, the brisk chill that drives them away provides an interim wherein one may at one’s leisure contemplate what one has been, and find therein reason enough to endure for the sake of what is to come.
 

Beach walkers are heartier folk in winter, there is a bit of Wednesday night prayer meeting about their demeanor. Regular in their habits, people nod and greet in passing, the numbers being manageable. Occasionally a conversation is struck. I was conspicuous in my red recliner, wide white sun hat, and blue and white umbrella. One guy, out walking his dog, noticed my fatigue jacket, slowed, stopped, and as bashfully as a boy asking a girl to dance, added to the formalities, “I can see that you are a veteran, of what, Korea?” I corrected him. He said he’d been in WWII. What did you do? “Well”, he said, “I sat in on the Nuremberg trials.”
 

He was 18 at the time, and may be, for all I know, the last surviving eye-witness. He was the marshal^i . He drew a sketch of the courtroom layout in the sand which I copied onto an envelope^ii I had been using as a book mark. He remembered Rudolph Hess (“He seemed out of it, as if prison had broken him.”) and Hermann Goering (“Always scowling, always ‘nein, nein’ whenever asked about his role in the atrocities”). PFC Orlowski could see the faces of the defendants wh

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

It was about a weak back.
