John 1:19 @pro.j auvto,n# {C}

It is difficult to decide whether the phrase pro.j auvto,n was deleted in some witnesses (î66*, 75 a C3 L Wsupp ¦1 al) as being essentially redundant in view of auvto,n later in the verse, or whether it was added either here (B C* 33 892c 1010 al) or following Leui,taj (î66c vid A Q Y ¦13 al) in order to clarify the statement. The Committee decided that the least unsatisfactory resolution of the problem was to adopt the reading of B al, but to enclose the phrase within square brackets to indicate considerable doubt that it belongs in the text.
