KJV ASV RSVn NIVn : Either some copyists changed the singular to the plural to fit with the next verse, or other copyists changed the plural to the singular to fit with the previous verse. The plural was chosen for the UBS text because the manuscript evidence seems stronger for it. Manuscript L has accidently omitted the verb.

The aorist tense (usually translated as a past tense in English) here is used to represent the Semitic prophetic perfect (that is, the use of the perfect tense to refer to a future action in order to express the certainty that it will happen). Copyists who did not understand this Semitic usage of the verb changed it either to a present tense, or, like the parallel in Matthew 21:22, to a future tense.

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEBn TEVnCOMMENTS: Although this verse might have been accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye when copyists’ eyes jumped from “plyour trespasses” in verse Mark 11:25 to “plyour trespasses” in verse Mark 11:26, the fact that it is missing from several different kinds of ancient text makes it likely that it was added by copyists who remembered Matthew 6:15. It contains several variations in the manuscripts in which it is found.
