the entire world where copies of the Torah and the Gospel exist, both East and West, and we have found them to be identical in wording.’ No one would say such a thing except a liar, for it is impossible for any human being to inspect every single manuscript scattered throughout the lands of East and West, just as it is impossible for him to alter every one of those manuscripts. Had he no knowledge of textual variation, he would have no basis for asserting their uniformity—let alone when scholars who have actually examined the manuscripts have reported clear differences in wording. Their testimony decisively exposes the falsehood of anyone who claims that the texts agree word-for-word (and how could their wording ever be identical when they exist in different languages?).
