John 1:41

John 1:41 prw/ton {B}

The reading prw/toj, attested by a* and the later Greek tradition, means that Andrew was the first follower of Jesus who made a convert. The reading prw/ton, which means that the first thing that Andrew did after having been called was to find his brother, was preferred by a majority of the Committee because of its early and diversified support (î^{66, 75} a^c B Q ¦¹ ¦¹³ cop arm geo al). The reading prwi< (“in the morning”), implied by the word mane in two or three Old Latin manuscripts, avoids the ambiguities of prw/tojÆprw/ton and carries on the narrative from ver. John 1:39.
