Luke 2:11 Cristo.j ku,rioj {A}

The combination Cristo.j ku,rioj, which occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, 3 seems to have been quite deliberately used by Luke instead of the much more frequent Cristo.j kuri,ou. It was to be expected that copyists, struck by the unusual collocation, should have introduced various modifications, none of which has significant external attestation.


3 The combination occurs by error (instead of Cristo.j kuri,ou) in the Septuagint translation of Lamentations 4:20 and in Ps Sol 17.32.
