Acts 8:33

Acts 8:33 tapeinw,sei @auvtou/#

The pronoun auvtou/, present in most witnesses, is absent from î⁷⁴ a A B 103 629 1642* 1739^c vg al. Although such testimony in support of the shorter text generally carries conviction of originality, in this case, since the Septuagint text of Isaiah 53:8 lacks auvtou/, copyists would have been tempted to conform the New Testament quotation to the Old Testament text. In order to represent the conflict between external evidence and transcriptional probability, it was thought best to include auvtou/ in the text, but to enclose it within square brackets.
