Nestle-Aland 28 and the SBL Greek New Testament read “Jesus” (Ἰησοῦς). Westcott and Hort read κύριος. The Textus Receptus reads “the Lord” (ὁ κύριος), and the King James follows the Textus Receptus. Codex Alexandrinus (A) and Codex Vaticanus (B) read Ἰησοῦς. Codex Sinaiticus (א) reads κύριος. The majority text reads ὁ κύριος. Papyrus 72, the earliest surviving copy of Jude, reads θεὸς Χριστός. Naming Jesus as the one who saved a people out of Egypt places the Son at the exodus, which is a claim that he already existed.
