Acts 3:6

Acts 3:6 @e;geire kai.# peripa,tei {C}

It is difficult to decide whether the words e;geire kai, are a gloss, introduced by copyists who were influenced by such well-known passages as Matthew 9:5; Mark 2:9; Luke 5:23; John 5:8, or were omitted in several witnesses as superfluous, since it is Peter himself who raises up the lame man (ver. Acts 3:7). A majority of the Committee considered it more probable that the words were present originally; in deference, however, to the strong combination of witnesses that support the shorter reading (a B D cop^sa), it was decided to enclose them within square brackets.
