Acts 16:10

Codex Bezae, supported in part by cop^sa, recasts the verse to read, diegerqei.j ou=n dihgh,sato to. o[rama h`mi/n( kai. evnoh,samen o[ti proske,klhtai h`ma/j o` ku,rioj euvaggeli,sasqai tou.j evn th|/ Makedoni,a| (“When therefore he had risen up, he related to us the vision, and we perceived that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to those who were in Macedonia”). The purpose of the banal addition is clear enough: the reviser wanted to make sure that the reader will understand how it was that Paul’s companions knew what he had seen in the vision — Paul told them!
