WK Translation Notes

a
The RV properly remove the vulgar "there" which Erasmus introduced from his copy, perhaps assimilated to 21:25, though not unsupported; and they follow the true reading, "night no more" of many MSS.
b
The copies vary also in other particulars of no great moment, as "shall" give them light, in the best copies instead of the present as the T. R., and the KJV; and "upon" them, as in some MSS.
