Someone the other day pointed me to this great link that has the Codex Sinaiticus online. The Codex Sinaiticus is is one of the most important hand-written ancient copies of the Greek Bible. It It has been dated to the 4th century (based on palaeographical analysis) and contains one of the very oldest and best manuscripts of the New Testament. The only earlier New Testament manuscripts contain small portions of the text.
I easily burned through several hours just playing with the different features. It was a little clunky at times, but to click on different parts of the manuscript, then see the translation, and compare it to my NIV version was really cool. I wish they could do this for some of the other early manuscripts too. For those who don’t know the field well (like myself), it adds so much to actually see the manuscripts and to see the translations and to compare it to the Bible I have in hand today. It gives me a bit more confidence that what we have today is what the Gospel writers wrote back then. I just have to keep thinking and pondering whether what they wrote down is true or not (unfortunately the harder part).
