7:28 | (added word in bold)
appoints high priests
Original Text: GK (appoints priests). This is probably
the original reading according to two early MSS (P46vid Ivid),
as well as D syrp copsa.
Textual Gap-filling: A variant reading καθιστησιν αρχιερεις “appoints high priests” in four early MSS (א A B C), as well as Ψ 33 1739 (so TR and KJV). The manuscript evidence is divided; either
reading could be original. But if the second reading is not original, it is the
product of scribal-gap filling, where the scribes were influenced by the context of the chapter, which speaks of high priests. (Philip Wesley Comfort,
A Commentary on Textual Additions to the New Testament [Grand Rapids,
Mich.: Kregel, Inc., 2017], 141)
