The apostles and evangelists used the normal
writing material of their days.
They wrote on “papyrus”, a rather primitive sort of
paper. This paper was liable to decay soon,
especially if constantly used.

No wonder then that the original manuscripts of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John no longer exist.
But from the earliest days hundreds and thousands
of copies were made. Each of these copies was
written out by hand and checked for its accuracy.

After some years copies were made on parchment,
that is: on the skins of animals, and these copies
were practicably indestructible.

Since so many copies had been made and
preserved in so many different places,
it was impossible for any individual to change the
text.
The differences would soon be noticed and
corrected by others.

The authenticity of the copies were
scientifically investigated.
The result of this investigation revealed that
the Gospel text has been handed on in all its
PURITY.

In fact, the gospels are the best preserved
writings of antiquity.
For no other profane or religious writing of the
same age can such abundant proof of
integrity be produced.

At the time when the evangelists wrote, it was
customary to write all letters as capitals and
without intermediate spaces. This kind of text
was difficult to read.

After some centuries an easier way of writing
and reading was introduced, including the
spacing of words and the use of punctuation.

Peter took Him aside and began
to rebuke Him. "God forbid it,
Lord!", he said.

Since all the gospel passages were
written without any divisions, it was
extremely difficult to find any precise text.

For this reason the four gospels were
divided into chapters and into verses
to say the precise text.
