John 8:9

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: ANOTES: “when they heard [this] and were reproved by [their] conscience, they started going away”

E G H K some Byz some cop(north)

KJV NEBnCOMMENTS: The words “and were reproved by [their] conscience” seem to be a later addition.

John 8:10

KJV NEBnOTHER: “Jesus stood up erect and saw her and said to her”

Some later manuscripts add a phrase (in one of two forms) referring to Jesus looking at the woman.

John 8:16

KJV ASV RSVn NASVn NIV TEV RANK: CNOTES: “I and the One who sent me.”

RSV NASV : Although it is possible that the word “Father” was added from the similar phrase in verse 18, the number of early manuscripts from different types of ancient text that include it would indicate that it was original.

John 8:39

:TEXT: “were* Abraham’s children, plyou would be doing the works”

p75 S B2 \ D K L \ Psi 070 \

KJV ASV RSV NIV NEB TEV RANK: CNOTES: “are Abraham’s children, be doing the works”

p66 B* one lat vg syr(s)

ASVn NASV NIVn NEBnCOMMENTS: The Greek word translated “were*” is in the present tense, which is not the best grammar. For this reason, the manuscripts listed above in braces changed it to a past tense (“were”) to make it read smoother. Apparently other copyists corrected the poor grammar by changing the tense of the verb in the main clause (from “plyou would be doing” to “be doing”).

John 8:57

:TEXT: “and have you seen Abraham?”

RSVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: A few copyists apparently changed the Jews’ question to be more like Jesus’ statement in verse 56 (“he would see my day; and he saw [it]”).

John 8:59

The additional material occurs in two more forms besides the two listed above. Although it is possible that the form in the notes might have been omitted through a mistake of the eye, when copyists’ eyes jumped from “and” to “And,” this would not account for the other three variations. It seems more likely that the additional material was added from Luke 4:30 combined with the first part of Joh 9:1. It is missing from early manuscripts of several types of ancient text.
