Shlama Akhi Paul,This statement of Mar Drywood says it all:

It says the Byz. came after Peshitta and it glosses Peshitta so as to be the equivlent of 3:16.

I'm glad I asked and didn't make an incorrect assumption. Also did you have a chance to show your relatives that Arabic manuscript?
Mar Drywood is correct about the PNT needing to be compared to the GNT in one aspect. In order to properly understand GNT one must undertake a study of PNT and learn Aramaic.
One must be careful though as their preconceived ideas may be at risk.
