The text reading uses the optative mood, which is a more difficult grammatical construction than that found in the notes. Although the optative is found nowhere else in John and this might be considered proof that this reading was added by copyists, it is more likely that several Alexandrian copyists and Latin translators changed this to a simpler construction. The text reading is found in early manuscripts of several kinds of ancient text. Manuscript S has included both readings. The original reading of manuscript p66 is illegible.
