Luke 23:38

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 (î⁷⁵ B C* it^a syr^{c, s} cop^{sa, bo} al); (b) the authorities that insert the words differ among themselves (as to the order of the languages, as to the introductory word, gegramme,nh or evpigegramme,nh, and as to the order of participle and evpV auvtw|/); and (c) there is no satisfactory explanation for the omission of the statement, if it were originally present in the text.
