Subjects in this Topic:
CLEOPHAS.—This form appears in some Latin MSS [Note: SS Manuscripts.] , and is retained in the Vulgate (though against the evidence of Codex Amiatinus) in both Luk_24:18 and Joh_19:25. It was adopted by the early English versions (Wyclifite, Tindale), and passed into the Authorized Version of 1611. It still stands there in Joh_19:25 for Clopas (wh. see), but in Luk_24:18 it was replaced in 1629 by Cleopas (wh. see).
