John 7:8 OUPW

Metzger's "A Textual Commentary of the Greek New Testament" 2nd ed.  Says:"
7.8 OUK {C} The reading OUPW was introduced at an early date (it is attested
by P66 and 75) in order to alleviate the inconsistency between ver.8 and
ver. 10."  

I hope this helps.

I wonder why UBS, NA and various current translations exclude OUPW from
this verse. (NIV includes it, and others footnote it.)  UBS only gives
OUK a "C" rating, and there seems to be a lot of manuscript support for
OUPW, although I guess some of the more criticial manuscripts exclude it.
 To this amateur it seems as though it's inclusion is reasonable,
especially since it eliminates all the fancy footwork exegetes must
employ to keep Jesus from misleading his disciples.

Best.
