When compared to witnesses of the Byzantine text type, Alexandrian manuscripts tend: to have a larger number of abrupt readings, such as the shorter ending of the Gospel of Mark, which finishes in the Alexandrian text at Mark 16:8 (".. for they were afraid.") omitting verses Mark 16:9-20; Matthew 16:2b–3, John 5:4; John 7:53-8:11;

Most critical editions of the Greek New Testament give precedence to these two chief uncial manuscripts, and the majority of translations are based ...
