John 17:11

John 17:11 w|- de,dwka,j moi {B}

The reading that best accounts for the origin of the others has also the strongest attestation: the difficulty of w|- (which is read by î^{60vid, 66vid} a A B C K L W D Q P Y 054 ¦¹ ¦¹³ 28 565 700 Byz Lect) prompted some copyists to replace the dative (which is attracted to the case of the antecedent) with the accusative o[ (D* X 2148 al) or with the plural ou[j (D^b 892^vid 1009 vg goth eth geo² al). The latter correction could also have been prompted by the recollection of ver. John 17:6 or the statement in John 18:9. The omission of one or more clauses from several ancient witnesses (î^66* it^{a, b, c, e, ff2, r1} syr^s cop^ach2) may be due to the difficulty of the original reading, or it may be accidental.
