Let him without sin cast the first stone in the oldest manuscripts?
No, the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Gospel of John lack the whole passage involving the woman taken in adultery. The first manuscript to contain it is the Codex Bezae, which dates from the late 4th or early 5th century. There are earlier references to the story, but none placing it in John's Gospel.
When did the passage about the adultress and 'he who is without sin cast the first stone' first appear in manuscript form?
AnswerThe oldest surviving Greek manuscript to contain the passage about the woman caught in adultery is a Latin/Greek document written in the late fourth or early fifth century. However, Papias, early in the second century, referred to a story of Jesus and a woman "accused of many sins" as being found in the Gospel of the Hebrews, and this may refer to an early version of this passage. Most scholars believe that the passage was not in the earliest manuscripts of John's Gospel, but there is some evidence that it occurred in some manuscripts of John's Gospel, in its present position, by the fourth century.
Is the story of a woman caught in adultery in the oldest gospel manuscripts?
In the most widely received editions of the New Testament, John 8.11 tells the story of how Jesus saved a woman caught in adultery from being stoned . This passage has no fixed place in the ancient manuscripts. Some place it after Luke 21.38, others after John 7.36 or 7.52, or 21.24. In any case, the story does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century.
Is it true that The appearances of Jesus after resurrection mentioned in Mark are all in the apocryphal supplement and that the Gospel of Mark proper does not record a single appearance of Jesus?
The earliest manuscripts of the Gospel According to St Mark end at verse 16:8, when the women fled after being told by the young man that Jesus was risen. There have been two later additions to Mark's Gospel, called the "short ending" and the "long ending", which provide resurrection appearances and attempt to harmonise the Gospel with those of Matthew and Luke. It has been noted that the long ending uses a different writing style to the main body of Mark. It is the long ending that is published in most modern Bibles.

How many manuscripts are there of the New Testament?
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.
What is the age of the earliest gospel?

Is the story of the woman caught in adultery being saved from stoning by Jesus in the oldest manuscripts?
The story of the woman caught in adultery and saved by Jesus is not found in the oldest and most reliable manuscripts of the New Testament. It is widely believed to be a later addition to the Gospel of John, likely added in the 5th or 6th century. This passage is known as the Pericope Adulterae and is not considered part of the original text of the Gospel of John. Its absence in early manuscripts such as Papyrus 66 and Codex Sinaiticus raises questions about its authenticity.
Which gospel has a very short resurrection account?
AnswerThe earliest manuscripts of the Gospel According to Saint Mark ended at verse 16:8, when the young man told the women that Jesus had risen, and the women were amazed and afraid. The "long ending" (there has also been a "short ending") was subsequently added to bring Mark's Gospel more or less into harmony with Matthewand Luke. Even with the "long ending", Mark's resurrection account is the shortest of the New Testament gospels.

Which gospel writer calls his work a gospel?
