Luke 6:48 dia. to. kalw/j oivkodomh/sqai auvth,n {A}

The distinctively Lukan clause assigning the reason for the permanence of the house (“because it had been well built”), which corresponds to the earlier statement concerning the builder’s industry (“dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock”), was supplanted by copyists who preferred the reason given by Matthew (“for it was founded upon the rock,” Matthew 7:25). The omission of the clause in several witnesses (î45vid 700 syrs) is the result of accidental oversight occasioned by homoeoteleuton (auvth.nauvth,n).
