Luke 11:11

Luke 11:11 ivcqu,n {B}

It is difficult to decide (a) whether, like the Matthean account ( Matthew 7:9), Luke originally had two pairs of terms (but not the same two pairs as Matthew), and a third pair was incorporated from Matthew (bread and stone); or (b) whether Luke originally had three pairs and, through an accident in transcription, one of the pairs was omitted. A majority of the Committee, considering the longer readings to be the result of scribal assimilation to Matthew, preferred the shorter reading, which is attested by î⁴⁵ (î⁷⁵) B 1241 and several early versional and patristic witnesses.
