LUKE 7:10 dou/lon {A} It is difficult to decide whether avsqenou/nta was added, in story-telling fashion, to identify the servant, or whether it was deleted as either superfluous or contradictory with u`giai,nonta. Faced with this balance of considerations, the Committee gave primary consideration... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 7:11 evn tw|/ e`xh/j {B} With evn th|/ e`xh/j the reader is to supply h`me,ra| (“on the next day”); with evn tw|/ e`xh/j one supplies cro,nw| (“[soon] afterward”). Elsewhere, however, when Luke writes th|/ e`xh/j he does not prefix evn ( Luke 9:37; Acts 21:1; Acts 25:17;... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 7:19 ku,rion {C} Since it is not likely that copyists would have deleted the name VIhsou/n, and since ku,rioj is in accord with Lukan style, the Committee preferred the reading ku,rion.... [ Continue Reading ]

LUKE 7:35 pa,ntwn tw/n te,knwn auvth/j {B} Some witnesses (D L Q Y 28 700 _al_) omit the word pa,ntwn, thus not only conforming the text in this respect to Matthew 11:19, but also permitting an easier interpretation. The presence of the word, supported by most other witnesses, is in accord with Luk... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 7:39 profh,thj {A} The insertion of the article before profh,thj (in B* X 205) is an exegetical allusion to “the Prophet” predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15; compare John 1:21; John 6:14; John 7:40.... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 7:45 eivsh/lqon {A} Instead of eivsh/lqon, a few witnesses (L* ¦13 157 1071 _al_) read eivsh/lqen (“[from the time] she came in”), which appears to be an attempt to avoid the suggestion of an exaggeration in “[from the time] I came in.”... [ Continue Reading ]
