John 20:23

John 20:23 avfe,wntai {B}

Although the perfect tense avfe,wntai could be regarded as a secondary assimilation to kekra,thntai at the end of the sentence, a majority of the Committee interpreted the present tense avfi,entai and the future avfeqh,setai as scribal simplifications which weaken the sense. To the external evidence supporting avfe,wntai (a^c A D (L) X 050¦¹ ¦¹³ 33^vid 565 al) should perhaps be added B*, which reads avfei,ontai (io being written for w).
