KJV (“every man”) NEB (“each”): The difference between the two readings is the absence or presence of the word “who” (translated “every” or “each”). Although it is possible that “who” was omitted because of a mistake of the eye (in Greek the words for “who” and “what” stand together and are spelled almost alike–only one letter difference), it is also possible that “who” was added by copyists to make the narrative more precise. It is omitted from the text because it is missing from early manuscripts of both the Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text.

Since there seems to be no reason for a mistake of the eye here, it is more likely that copyists would have inserted “your” or “for you” than deleted it.
