John 6:36

John 6:36 @me# {C}

A few witnesses (a A it^{a, b, e, q} syr^{c, s}) lack me. It is possible that this is the original reading and that me has crept into the other witnesses from the context. In this case Jesus’ statement, “I said to you that you saw and yet do not believe,” clearly refers to the signs that the people had witnessed (ver. John 6:26). On the other hand, a majority of the Committee, impressed by the age and diversity of the external attestation supporting me, preferred to retain the word in the text, but to enclose it within square brackets.
