John 4:3 pa,lin {A}

The omission of pa,lin from A B* G L P Y 28 249 579 700 1194 1424 syrh al, if not accidental, may have been occasioned by a desire to clarify the evangelist’s meaning — for (a) Jesus does not actually arrive in Galilee until two days later (ver. John 4:43), after an interlude in Samaria; and (b) an overly punctilious reader could take pa,lin to mean that Jesus returned a second time to Galilee after having left Judea. Pa,lin is strongly attested by î66, 75 a B2 C D L M W Q 053 083 0141 ¦1 ¦13 33 565 ita, b, c, e, ff2, l vg syrc, s, pal copsa, bo arm eth al.
