Verse 8
(8) Saying, I am Christ.—Literally, I am. The italics show that the word “Christ” is an interpolation. The sentence is better left in the vagueness of the original, or with only a pronoun as the predicate, I am He. The use of the words in John 1:21; John 8:58, may be referred to as showing that they had become significant even without a predicate.
The time draweth near.—Better, the season has come near.
Go ye not therefore . . .—The better MSS. omit the last words.
