KJV NEBnCOMMENTS: The Greek words translated “came up” and “cried [aloud]” are similar: anabas and anaboêsas, respectively. The words “came up” are in the UBS text because they are found in early manuscripts of both the Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text.

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Although the verse might have been accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes jumped from the “And” at the beginning of verse 28 to the “And” at the beginning of verse 29, the number of early manuscripts that omit it would indicate that it was more likely added by copyists who remembered Luke 22:37 and Isaiah 53:12. Perhaps it was first written in the margin of early manuscripts.

KJV ASVn RSVn NIV NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Although it is possible that the word for “cried out” was accidently omitted by an early copyist of the Alexandrian type of text (both “cried out” and “like this” end with the same Greek letter), the word may also have been borrowed from Matthew 27:50, or paraphrased from verse Mark 15:37. Some of the witnesses (W Theta 565 syr(s) cop(north)) omit “like this.”

Mark 15:44

ASVn RSV NASV : “whether he had died.”

syr(s)

Because the Greek word for “long ago” seemed harsh here, it was apparently changed by some copyists to “already,” which they borrowed from the first part of the verse.
