If no number is original, "two" or "three" were added by copyists from verse Acts 10:7, depending upon whether they counted the guard. If "three" is original, it was replaced by a copyist with "two" from verse 7, and omitted accidently when copyists' eyes jumped from the end of "men" to the end of "three," which follows "men" in the Greek. On the whole, the reading "three" seems to have the best evidence, being found in early manuscripts of both Alexandrian and Western types of ancient text.
