Luke 7:11 evn tw|/ e`xh/j {B}

With evn th|/ e`xh/j the reader is to supply h`me,ra| (“on the next day”); with evn tw|/ e`xh/j one supplies cro,nw| (“[soon] afterward”). Elsewhere, however, when Luke writes th|/ e`xh/j he does not prefix evn ( Luke 9:37; Acts 21:1; Acts 25:17; Acts 27:18); on the other hand, when cro,nw| is to be understood, Luke uses evn tw|/ kaqexh/j ( Luke 8:1). On the whole, it is more probable that the less definite expression of time would be altered to the more definite than vice versa. Furthermore, the evidence supporting tw|/ e`xh/j is more weighty than that supporting th|/ e`xh/j.
