Acts 1:11

Acts 1:11 @evm#ble,pontej

The external evidence is rather evenly divided between ble,pontej (a* B E^gr 33 81 180 218 440 522 614 630 642 945 1245 1642 1704 1739 1831 1875 1884 1891 2298 2495 al) and evmble,pontej (î⁵⁶ a^c A C (D evnble,pontej) Y and most minuscules). It is difficult to decide whether copyists heightened the account by introducing the compound form (which seems to imply a degree of intensity not suggested by the simple form), or whether the initial syllable was accidentally dropped in copying. In order to represent the even balance of textual evidence and of transcriptional probabilities, a majority of the Committee preferred to print the compound form, but to enclose the initial syllable within square brackets to indicate that it may be a scribal accretion.
