Original Note:
The phrase blood is thicker than water is first attested to in the 12th century in a German manuscript: https://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg341/0338/scroll?sid=fd5271583faebc42646e533d0b9da964 While some commentators believe the more modern version is actually the original, none provide a source for this claim.
