Wescott & Hort Translation (GRCWHT)
Overview
The New Testament in the Original Greek is a Greek-language version of the New Testament published in 1881. It is also known as the Westcott and Hort text, after its editors Brooke Foss Westcott (1825–1901) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828–1892). Textual scholars use the abbreviations “WH” or “WHNU”. It is a critical text, compiled from some of the oldest New Testament fragments and texts that had been discovered at the time.
