Matthew 20:15

Matthew 20:15 @h;# (1) {C}

External support for the presence or absence of h; at the beginning of ver. Matthew 20:15 is rather evenly divided, with representative witnesses of the Alexandrian (B and a), the Western (D and Old Latin), and other (Q and ¦¹ ¦¹³) texts on opposite sides. From a transcriptional point of view it is more likely that scribes would have dropped the word after soi (in later Greek both h and oi were pronounced “ee”) than inserted it. On balance the Committee thought it best to retain the word, but to enclose it within square brackets.
