38. Marcion cut Mark 2:10'

Epiphanius records this variation in Mcg’s version of v. 5:24 (emphasis added): But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power to forgive sins upon earth. (Scholion 2) In the KJV the parallels at Mk 2:10a and Mt 9:6a both read: But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, However, in Mk 2:10a the Aramaic Bible in Plain English has: But that you may know The Son of Man is authorized to forgive sins in the earth NA27, B, Θ (038), 157, pc also have this order in Mk 2:10a, suggesting that this may have been the original form of these words.
