Luke 11:33

Luke 11:33 @ouvde. u`po. to.n mo,dion# {C}

Since Luke preferred not to use mo,dion in Luke 8:16, a word that is present in the parallel in Mark (and Matthew), it may well be that the word, with its clause, was absent from the original form of the present passage also. On the other hand, since the clause is attested by weighty and diversified external evidence, a majority of the Committee was unwilling to drop it altogether and compromised by enclosing the words within square brackets.
