KJV ASVn RSVn NIVnCOMMENTS: Although it is possible that the word “new” was accidently omitted due to a mistake of the eye (the Greek words for “the,” “new,” and “covenant” all end in the same two letters), it is much more likely that it was added here by copyists from the parallel accounts in Luke 22:20 and 1 Corinthians 11:25.

: It is much more likely that the clause “saying the same words” was omitted by some Western manuscripts than that it was added exactly the same in all different kinds of ancient text, perhaps from Matthew 26:44 (the parallel verse in Matthew Isaiah 26:42).

NEBn TEV (“Guess who hit you!”): Several copyists added part or all of the phrases found in the parallel passages of Mat 26:68 and Luke 22:64.

ASVn RSV NASV NIV NEB TEVnCOMMENTS: The words “and a rooster crowed” are in brackets in the UBS text. While it is possible that they were added here by copyists to make the rooster crow twice, it is more likely that they were omitted by other copyists to make the account read like that in Matthew, Luke, and John, especially since three of the manuscripts that omit them (S, L, and latin manuscript c) also omit the reference to two crowings in verses Mark 14:30; Mark 14:72 (manuscript W also omits “twice” in verse Mark 14:30). If the words had been added by copyists, is would be expected that they would have been added at various places, not at the same place by all copyists..
