Acts 9:20

Acts 9:20 VIhsou/n

The reading VIhsou/n (î^{45, 74} a A B C E 61 vg syr^{p, h} cop^{sa, bo} al) was displaced (probably for doctrinal reasons) by the reading Cristo,n (H L P arm^mss al), which was taken into the Textus Receptus and so into the AV. But, as Alford pointed out long ago, “the following to. o;noma tou/to (ver. Acts 9:21) is decisive for the reading VIhsou/n, and ou-to,j evstin o` cristo,j (ver. Acts 9:22) still more so” (The Greek Testament, ad loc.).
