It is difficult to determine whether the pronoun, which suits the character of the diction of prayer, was deleted by Atticizing copyists as superfluous with parts of the body, or was added from verses Acts 4:27 and Acts 4:29. In order to represent the balance of evidence and of probabilities, the Committee retained the word but enclosed it within square brackets.
