WK Translation Notes

+
a
Many MSS. do not read "great" nor "multitude," which last is in the T. R.
b
There is in some MSS. a great omission of the clause "awaiting the moving of the water" and all verse 4 as in the common text. It is certain that the narrative as ordinarily given must have been read by Tertullian; and the answer of the sick man in the critical text, verse 7, implies, if it does not demand, such an explanation.
