:TEXT: "Pharisee stood and started praying these things with himself" : \ A \ K \ W X Delta \ Pi \ f13 28 33vid 565 700 \ 1010 \ Byz Lect one lat \ syr(s) (omit "these things") syr(c,p,h) \ : KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEBn TEVn RANK: DNOTES: "Pharisee stood and started praying these things" : S* some lat cop(south) : : "Pharisee, standing by himself, started praying these things" : D (both Greek and Latin) : NEBn TEV : In the text reading the words "with himself" are found right after "standing" (which is translated "stood and") and right before "these things." This is very difficult to understand. If the words modify "started praying" they can be translated as above. If the words modify the aorist passive participle "standing," they may be a Semitism representing the Aramaic ethic dative which could be translated "taking his stand." Because of the difficulty in understanding the phrase, copyists either moved "with himself" next to "started praying" (the evidence is listed above in braces), omitted the words, changed them to "by himself," or omitted "these things."
