Apparently copyists did not realize that “him” was to be taken as the subject of the infinitive “to be healing,” and so changed it to “them,” “all,” or “them all.”

The positive degree of the adjective was probably changed by copyists to the comparative to make the comparison clearer. The omission of verse 39 by some Western manuscripts is probably due to the influence of Marcion, who did not like the statement because it seemed to give authority to the Old Testament, which he rejected.
