The Patriarchal text,[1][2] or Patriarchal Text (PT),[3] originally officially published as The New Testament, Approved by the Great Church of Christ (Greek: Ἡ Καινὴ Διαθήκη ἐγκρίσει τῆς Μεγάλης τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἐκκλησίας),[4][5] is an edition of the New Testament published by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople on 22 February 1904.[6][4] Two revised editions of the PT were later printed by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, in respectively 1907 and 1912.[1]
The PT is also known as the Antoniades-text[1] (after Professor Vasileios Antoniades), or Patriarchal Greek New Testament.[6]
The PT is entirely in Koine Greek. There is no Greek New Testament text accepted by everyone within the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Patriarchal text is no exception.[7] The text-type of the PT is Byzantine.
