Luke 10:15

Luke 10:15 katabh,sh| {C}

It is difficult to decide between the merits of katabh,sh| and katabibasqh,sh|. Did copyists heighten the sense of the saying by replacing the former word with the latter; or did they replace the more rare verb (katabiba,zesqai) with the much more usual verb (katabai,nein), thus also assimilating the quotation to the text of the Septuagint? A majority of the Committee, impressed by the superior external testimony of î⁷⁵ B D al, adopted katabh,sh|. (See also the comment on Mt 11.23.)
