Split a/b
GC: There is weak and scattered support for the singular (a,c).
TP: It appears more likely that the singular was turned into plural following the plurals in the preceding verse.[1] The TFD for
c, however, shows that in this case the plural in variant
d changed to singular, perhaps because the focus was felt to be on Peter. Hence, TP for
a is not strong enough to outweigh the weakness of the attestation.
