There are more than 24,000 surviving manuscripts or pieces of the New Testament manuscripts. Of these the earliest manuscripts date back to 130 AD. This is just decades after Mark was written in 50 AD. And of the discrepancies that are "found" they are differences of 'he' verses 'him' or 'they' and 'them' or misspellings of the word because at that time the early Christians had to spread the Gospel quickly and the error checking like that of the Old Testament was not available and was not the most viable solution. Keep in mind Plato was written between 427-347 BC and the earliest copy is from 900AD. That is 1200 years and there are only 7 copies of the original.

Is amen in he original manuscripts of New Testament writing?
No original manuscripts of the New Testament exist.Therefore, whether or not a certain word appeared or not in the original manuscripts is largely a matter of conjecture or debate. Strictly speaking, even the existence of "the original manuscripts of New Testament writing" in a form that we would all recognize as such, hasn't been proven, even though most people may assume that they existed in some form. http://www.answers.com/topic/biblicalmanuscript#Dating_the_New_Testament_manuscripts This link, attached below, states; The New Testament books appear to have been completed within the 1st century. However, the original manuscripts of the New Testament books do not survive today. The autographs were lost or destroyed a long time ago. What survives are copies of the original. Generally speaking, these copies were made centuries after the originals from other copies rather than from the autograph. However, the word "amen" does exist in most copies of the New Testament available nowadays. Further up on the page from the link provided, it states; There has been an estimate of between 200,000 and 300,000 variations among all the manuscripts (from the 2nd to 15th century) which is more variations than words in the New Testament. Nevertheless, the use of the word "amen" in Hebrew at that time (and previously) seems to lend credence to the belief that its use in any "original manuscripts" of New Testament writings is indeed plausible.
