Old copyists and modern editors and translators lost the point of "we" (twice), and reduced it to a common-place "ye." The KJV, after the T. R., has excellent support, and yields an eminently touching reference. The various readings here are due to a misunderstanding of the sense: "ye" was adopted to make it easier. Compare {vi 30579}{/vi}, which has the same sense; and there all agree to "we."
