But because the NT writings themselves ultimately gained the status of "sacred scripture" among the people who came to be mainly responsible for the transmission of Jewish scriptures in Greek, evidence of textual variation drawn from NT quotations often has come to be [220] treated differently\39).
If agreement is found between a NT quotation and some Greek MSS of Jewish scripture in what is judged to be a "variant" form of text, the evidence from the MSS often is explained as the result of conscious or unconscious "harmonization" towards the NT form of the quotation.
The Greek MSS of Jewish scripture seldom preserve any consistent pattern where a reverse influence of aberrant NT quotations on their apparent sources is alleged.

 Alleged Bible contradictions refuted: Harmony of Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20
Once we have come into agreement with Jesus that the Scripture is completely trustworthy and authoritative, then it is out of the question for us to shift over to the opposite assumption, that the Bible is only the errant record of fallible men as they wrote about God.

Remember, no interpretation of Scripture is valid that is not based on careful exegesis, that is, on wholehearted commitment to determining what the ancient author meant by the words he used.
