Mark 1:40 @kai. gonupetw/n# {C}

On the one hand, the combination of B D W al in support of the shorter text is extremely strong. On the other hand, if kai. gonupetw/n auvto,n were the original reading, homoeoteleuton could account for its accidental omission. On the whole, since in the parallel passages Matthew’s use of proseku,nei ( Matthew 8:2) and, still more, Luke’s pesw.n evpi. pro,swpon ( Luke 5:12) seem to support the originality of the idea of kneeling in Mark’s account, the Committee decided to retain kai. gonupetw/n with a L Q ¦1 565 al but to enclose the expression within square brackets.
