Luke 21:35

Luke 21:35 w`j pagi,j\ evpeiseleu,setai ga,r {B}

Does w`j pagi,j belong at the close of the preceding clause, or at the beginning of the following clause? The former alternative appears to be preferable in view of (a) the strong combination of Alexandrian and Western evidence (a B D Old Latin) in support of the sequence of ga,r following the verb, and (b) the greater likelihood that copyists, recollecting Isaiah 24:17, would have transposed ga,r so as to attach w`j pagi,j with what follows, than vice versa.
