The words “in his day” are in brackets in the UBS text. The Greek words for “man” and “his” (which stands last in the phrase) end in the same two letters. While it is possible that copyists added this phrase because of the several references to “day” and “days” in verses 22 through 31, it is also possible that the words were accidently omitted due to a mistake of the eye. Since they are not found in this exact form elsewhere, they are retained in the text. The reading with “advent” was taken from the parallel in Matthew 24:27.

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Although it is possible that verse 36 was omitted by a mistake of the eye, when copyists’ eyes jumped from “left” in verse 35 to “left” in verse 36, since it is missing from so many manuscripts, it is more likely that it was added here by other copyists from the parallel passage in Matthew 24:40.
