Colleagues,
to add a bit to Iver's e-mail:
Yes, the text of SBL GNT is the same as NA here, but its apparatus (unlike that of NA) reports in full the alternate reading of the Byzantine tradition. Combining the three variant readings in the SBL GNT apparatus into a single unit, it becomes clear that the MSS preserve at least 3 alternate forms of the verse:
1) EPEXRISEN AUTOU TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS [Treg NA NIV (found in Aleph L + others)
2) EPEQHKEN AUTOU TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS [WH, following Vaticanus
3) EPEXRISEN TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS TOU TUFLOU [RP; the Byzantine form of the verse
But at least three additional forms of the verse survive in the manuscript tradition:
4) EPEQHKEN TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS TOU TUFLOU [read by C
5) EPEXRISEN AUTOU TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS TOU TUFLOU [read by Codex Alexandrinus and the corrector of C
6) EPEXRISEN AUTWi TON PHLON EPI TOUS OFQALMOUS AUTOU [read by Codex Bezae
Note especially, in light of some of the earlier comments in this thread, the dative in the last variant.
This is one of those places where a presentation of the evidence such as Swanson offers (or Tischendorf's apparatus, for that matter), which displays more of various forms of the verse, can illuminate the discussion of the syntax of the passage.

Mark,
The SBL GNT is like the NA here. In addition to removing the AUTOU the Byzantine
text (RP) has added TOU TUFLOU at the end, and that solves any problem or
ambiguity. NA mentions the addition at the end as supported by A, C and others,
but a few mss have AUTOU in this position.

3. The Alexandrian text is possibly corrupt. The Byzantine text omits the
AUTOU, though you would not know this from the NA apparatus. Did anyone check to
see if SBL GNT omits it?
