It is well known that many Fathers, Greek and Latin, have cast a doubt upon verses 43 and 44. Several of the more ancient MSS. indeed also omit them, but they are amply verified by external witnesses, and the truth taught has the closest affinity to the line which Luke was given to take up. Several Edd. uphold them.
