John 16:27
16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.83
83 | tc A number of early mss (א1 B C* D L pc co) read πατρός (patros, “Father”) here instead of θεοῦ (theou, “God”; found in 𝔓5 א*,2 A C3 W Θ Ψ 33 f1, 13 𝔐). Although externally πατρός has relatively strong support, it is evidently an assimilation to “I came from the Father” at the beginning of v. 28, or more generally to the consistent mention of God as Father throughout this chapter (πατήρ [patēr, “Father“] occurs eleven times in this chapter, while θεός [theos, “God“] occurs only two other times [16:2, 30]). |
