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.
