AGRAPHA FOUND IN SOME MANUSCRIPTS:
5. Luke 6.4 Uncial D’s Addition. This verse demonstrates Jesus’ philosophy behind his own “sabbath-breaking”: one ought to understand the principle behind each law and obey that rather than just mindlessly following what all the letters of the Law together say.
6. Mark 16:14 Uncial W’s Addition (The Freer Legion Ending)
7. Matthew 20:28 D Addition
8. Irenaeus’ citation of Papias’ quoting Jesus. Here, Jesus gives an epic image of the abundance of the new creation.
11. Origen’s citation of some floating rumor of Jesus’ quote. Jesus explains his holiness as dangerous for those near yet as God’s very presence.
