Mike, 

What's the most convenient place to read the SBL on line?  The link at the Logos 
site isn't right.  I should probably just buy a print copy, but I need another 
Greek NT like a need a CASMA in my KEFALHi.

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?
