Acts 19:20

Acts 19:20 tou/ kuri,ou o` lo,goj hu;xanen kai. i;scuen {B}

A majority of the Committee preferred the Alexandrian reading (a* A B), on the consideration that it is more likely that the less usual order was altered into the characteristic order, than vice versa. The substitution of qeou/ for kuri,ou appears to be a secondary correction. Codex Bezae presents a conflate reading, ou[twj kata. kra,toj evni,scusen kai. h` pi,stij tou/ qeou/ hu;xane kai. evplh,qune (“So mightily it prevailed; and the faith of God grew and multiplied”). Although it could be argued that evniscu,ein is a Lukan word (it appears twice in the New Testament, Luke 22:43 and Acts 9:19), the expression h` pi,stij tou/ qeou/ occurs nowhere in Luke-Acts.
