John 13:26

John 13:26 ba,yw to. ywmi,on kai. dw,sw auvtw|/ {C}

It is more likely that scribal alteration went from the simple (dw,sw) to the compound verb (evpidw,sw), which John uses nowhere else. Furthermore, the Semitic, paratactic style of two finite verbs connected by kai, is typically Johannine, whereas the omission of the conjunction and the hypotactic construction involving a participle (ba,yaj) has the appearance of being a stylistic modification introduced by copyists in the interest of elegance. Likewise, the redundant auvtw|/ after dw,sw, so characteristic of a primitive, Semitic style, would almost certainly be deleted by copyists. See also the comment on the following variant reading.
