Luke 20:9

Luke 20:9 a;nqrwpo,j @tij# evfu,teusen avmpelw/na {C}

Of the four variant readings, those of C (avmpelw/na a;nqrwpoj evfu,teusen) and D (avmpelw/na evfu,teusen a;nqrwpoj) agree in placing first the noun that describes the setting of the parable (agreeing in this respect with the chief readings of the Markan parallel, Mark 12:1). The only difference between the other two Lukan readings, which are supported by the overwhelming weight of the external testimony, is the presence or absence of tij. On the one hand, Luke commonly writes a;nqrwpo,j tij ( Luke 10:30; Luke 12:16; Luke 34:16; Luke 15:11; Luke 16:1, Luke 16:19; Luke 19:12); on the other hand, many of the same witnesses that insert tij here also insert tij in the clearly secondary reading in Mark (W Q ¦¹³ syr^p arm geo²). In order to reflect the conflict between these two considerations, the Committee decided to print tij enclosed within square brackets.
