==Johannine Comma==
The Johannine Comma appears almost exclusively in Latin manuscripts, not in Greek. "It is found in only four Greek manuscripts, none earlier than the 14th century. 4 other Greek mss. offer it as a margin note. The remaining Greek mss., numbering in the hundreds, do not include it." ("[http://www.tektonics.org/af/comma.php The Comma of 1 John 5:7]") Moreover, it is not in the earliest Latin translations, including Jerome's Vulgate. It is first mention by Priscillian, a Latin writer of the fourth century. John was written in Greek, so early Greek manuscripts such as Vaticanus and Sinaiticus are considered to be the most authoritative witnesses.
