Punctuation-Lk9:21

B-GREEKERS,

My Nestle-Aland (26) text places a period at the end of Lk.9:21,
which leaves verse 22 without a main verb.

My Nestle-Aland (27) Greek text puts no punctuation at the end
of verse 21, and the parallel Latin text puts a comma.     

Metzger's Textual Commentary says nothing about this
passage (and nothing else I have checked does either).    
Should I to assume the 26th edition is a misprint (comma
for a period)?

And though this may be pushing it to the breaking point,  
could I assume that, since the NRSV puts a comma after 
verse 21,  that this respresents Metzger's true view of the 
punctuation in this passage?

As always, thanks for your comments.
