FOOTNOTES:
F136: Some of
the most ancient authorities bring the book to a
close at the end of verse 8. One authority
concludes the book with the shorter ending;
others include the shorter ending and then
continue with verses 9-20. In most authorities
verses 9-20 follow immediately after verse 8,
though in some of these authorities the passage
is marked as being doubtful.
