ASVn RSV NASV : The words “the sick” are in brackets in the UBS text. Two different forms of the Greek word for “sick” are found in the manuscripts that have it. “The sick” is included here since elsewhere Luke always uses an object with the active infinitive “to heal.”

Luke 9:26

: The difference in the readings is caused only by the absence of “words” in the footnote reading. The same Greek word can be translated “my” and “mine.” Although it is possible that the word “words” was added from the parallel in Mark 8:38, it is much more likely that it was accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye, since the Greek words for “my” and “words” both end in the same letters ("-ous").

KJV ASVn RSVnCOMMENTS: The reading “Beloved” seems to have been taken from the parallel passages in Matthew 17:5 and Mark 9:7. In four of the manuscripts listed above the words “with whom I am well pleased” are also added from Matthew 17:5.

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: The phrase “like Elijah also did” is missing from several early manuscripts. Since there seems to be no good reason for copyists to have omitted it, it apparently was a gloss that was first written in the margin and then made its way into the text.

The additional wording is missing from most early manuscripts. Although it is possible that it was accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes jumped from “and” to “and,” there is no good reason why manuscript D should have accidently omitted the material in verse Luke 9:56. That material seems to have come from Luke 19:10. It is likely that all the material was a marginal gloss that was added to the text by some copyists.

NASV : The word “Lord” is in brackets in the UBS text, because it might have been added either from verse 61 or from the parallel in Matthew 8:21. However, since the abbreviations for “said” and “Lord” both end in the same letter, it is possible that it was accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye. Copyists often abbreviated common words in a long document.

NEBnCOMMENTS: The reversal of word order found in the notes does not make good sense unless one does something such as taking “and” to mean “when.” It is probably due to a mistake in copying where the copyist’s eye jumped ahead and he copied down the second phrase first and then, instead of correcting it, he copied down the first phrase. The evidence listed in braces includes the word “his” which is missing from manuscripts p75, B, and 0181, and family 1.
