This isn't proof, because your level of proof is beyond anything on this earth.
But a nice exposition on Nemesio's comments can be found here:

Where is your proof of this?
I mentioned in question. That is, there are 2nd and early 3rd
century manuscripts which exclude those passages, but there are
later manuscripts which include them (along with evidence of editing).
Are you denying that these older manuscripts in fact lack the passages
in question?

Originally posted by NemesioI am claiming that the early church fathers wrote the entire Bible in their writings of the time. They undoubtedly predate the earliest 'manuscripts'. Are you willing to admit that the early Church had copied the entire original New Testament in their writings?

And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three!
And every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he.
"Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.
Oh, there's none so rare
As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
