Revelation 13:15

Revelation 13:15 poih,sh| @i[na# o[soi {C}

The word i[na, which seems to be indispensable with avpoktanqw/sin, stands after poih,sh| in A P 1006 2065 al, and before avpoktanqw/sin in 051 1 1854 2073 and the Textus Receptus. The latter reading, which is supported by inferior external witnesses, is an obvious scribal amelioration of the difficulty occasioned by i[na … eva,n followed by two verbs in the subjunctive. The omission of i[na in a 046 1611 1859 al appears to be accidental, resulting in a shift of subject (“that even the image of the beast should speak; and he shall cause that as many as…should be killed” ASV^mg). In view of the multiplicity of readings, no one of which clearly explains the origin of the others, a majority of the Committee thought it best to include i[na in the text, but to enclose the word within square brackets.
