Who Changed the New Testament? And Why?

The Bible is the Word of God – but it is written in the words of human beings. We don’t have the original manuscripts of any of the books of the New Testament. The earliest manuscripts we have are copies of copies of copies that don’t agree with each other. Who made the changes to the oldest manuscripts? What did they change? And why did they make those changes?
