Oh my gosh! I just found out the Bruce Metzger died. And if you just thought, "Who is that?" then it's clear that you have never learned Koine Greek because he was one of the preeminent Greek experts and everyone who learns Greek in seminary have used his Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek. And he was also well known for his work in textual criticism and his textual commentary on the Greek New Testament.
Bruce Metzger, who was perhaps the 20th century's preeminent New Testament Greek scholar, has died at age 93.
The retired seminary professor reportedly died of natural causes in Princeton, N.J., Feb. 13.
Metzger helped translate both the Revised Standard Version and the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. He served as general editor for the latter, which is the English Bible translation used for academic study of Scripture in all but the most conservative Protestant colleges, seminaries and divinity schools.
