LUKE 23:11 @kai.# o` ~Hrw,|dhj {C} On the basis of the age of î75 and the difficulty of understanding the force of kai, in the context, the reading kai. o` ~Hrw,|dhj appears to be preferred. At the same time, because of the combination of B Dgr Q and most of the Old Latin in support of the reading... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 23:15 avne,pemyen ga.r auvto.n pro.j h`ma/j {A} In the transmission of this clause copyists became hopelessly confused, producing statements either utterly banal, as avne,pemya ga.r u`ma/j pro.j auvto,n (A D W X D Y ¦1, followed by the Textus Receptus), or totally nonsensical, as avne,pemya g...

LUKE 23:17 _omit verse_ {A} The secondary character of the verse is disclosed not only by its omission from such early witnesses as î75 A B L T 070 892* 1241 ita copsa _al,_ but also by its insertion, in slightly different forms, either here or after ver. Luke 23:19 (where codex Bezae agrees in wor... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 23:23 auvtw/n {B} The Committee judged that the omission of the words kai. tw/n avrciere,wn by homoeoteleuton was less likely than their addition by copyists who wished to specify more particularly the identity of those who called for the crucifixion of Jesus.... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 23:32 su.n auvtw|/ Codex Rehdigeranus (itl) gives the names of the two robbers as _Ioathas et Maggatras_ (“Joathas and Maggatras”). The fragmentary codex Usserianus (itr1) reads…_et Capnatas_ (“… and Capnatas”). (See also the comments on Mt 27.38 and Mk 15.27.)... [ Continue Reading ]

LUKE 23:38 evpV auvtw|/ {A} The mention here of the three languages in which the inscription on the cross was written is almost certainly a gloss, probably taken from the text of John 19:20. Every consideration weighs against it: (_a_) it is absent from several of the earliest and best witnesses (î... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 23:42 eivj th.n basilei,an {B} Although the reading of î75 B L _al_ has, from one point of view, the appearance of being a scribal correction (eivj being considered more appropriate than evn with e;lqh|j), a majority of the Committee preferred it as more consonant with Lukan theology (compare...

LUKE 23:43 auvtw|/ Pious fancy was especially active concerning the story of the penitent robber.
