John 5:1. e`orth, {A}

Strong external evidence favors the anarthrous e`orth, (î66, 75 A B D Q ¦13 28 syrc, p); likewise, the natural tendency of scribes would have been to identify an otherwise indeterminate feast by inserting h` (with a reference probably to Passover), a tendency that accounts also for such supplements in isolated manuscripts as avzu,mwn before VIoudai,wn (in L) and h` skhnophgi,a after VIoudai,wn (in 131).
