KJV ASVn RSVnCOMMENTS: The words “with tears” seem to have been added by copyists and correctors to heighten the story. There is no good reason why the words would have been omitted if they had been original.

Mark 9:29

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: ANOTES: “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer and fasting.”

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBnCOMMENTS: Because of the emphasis put on fasting in the early church, there was a tendency for copyists to add a reference to fasting after a reference to prayer.

Mark 9:38

:TEXT: “we saw someone casting out demons in your name”

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: CNOTES: “we saw someone casting out demons in your name who does not follow us”

A \ K \ Pi \ 1010 \ Byz Lect \ syr(h+)

KJV RSVnCOMMENTS: The phrase “who does not follow us” seems to have been added from the last part of the verse: “because he was not following us.” This last phrase is omitted by those manuscripts that are listed above in braces. In them the phrase was apparently moved to this position and the wording changed slightly.

Mark 9:42

:TEXT: “one of these little ones who believe in me”

A B C2(vid) K L W X Theta Pi Psi f1 f13 28 565 700 892 1010 1241 Byz Lect some lat vg syr(s,p,h) cop

S C*(vid) D (“have faith”) Delta some lat some cop(north)

ASVn NASV NEB (“have faith”): The words “in me” are in brackets in the UBS text because they may have been added from the parallel in Matthew 18:6. There is strong manuscript evidence in favor of keeping them, but they are absent from early manuscripts of different kinds of ancient text.

Mark 9:44-46

:TEXT: omit verses 44 and 46

S B C L W Delta Psi f1 28 565 892 one lat syr(s) cop

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: ANOTES: include verses 44 and 46 (both identical to verse 48): “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Verses 44 and 46 seem to have been added by copyists from verse 48.

KJV ASVn RSVnOTHER: “every sacrifice will be salted with salt.”

D some lat

In Greek the clauses in question begin with “every” and end with “salted.” While it is possible that one or the other of them was accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye, it is more likely that the second clause was added from Leviticus 2:13 as an explanation of the first, perhaps at first in the margin, and from there was either substituted for the first, or added to the text.
