D05 reinforces the notion of the church praying for Peter during the night before he was due to be brought out to the people (in combination with the other two variants in this verse, see below). κκλησ α B P74 ) A* 33. 181. 216. 440.

B03 completes the verb ν with a present participle, γινομ νη. κτεν and ν κτενε are equivalent adverbial forms, but the latter in D05 is a phrase used elsewhere only in association with the prayers of Israel for salvation or deliverance (i.e. Acts 26:7 [D05 lac.] and Judith 4:9 LXX). κτεν is not found elsewhere in Luke’s writings (though the comparative form is read by Lk. 22:44 D05 [om. B03]); in the LXX, the context is one of repentance (Jon. 3:8; 3 Macc. 5:9). The phrase περ α το (= Peter) in D05 is in an emphatic position following the adverbial phrase. That it is repeated at the end of the verse may be intentional, to insist that it was Peter that the church was praying for or it may reflect a conflation of two readings21. The difference in preposition π / π makes little difference to the sense but rather arises out of seeing either prayer being made by the church to God (B03), or prayer emanating from the church (D05), the latter corresponding to the phrase πρ τ ν θε ν which is omitted by B03 (see next variant). τ ν θε ν D d P74 ) rell ‖ om. B P45vid; Cass? πρ The prepositional phrase may have been omitted because it was thought to be obvious that the church’s prayer would be made to God. The idea of prayer as communication is reinforced with the preposition π in the immediately preceding prepositional phrase in D05 (see previous variant). 6 προσαγαγε ν B 33. 254. 467 pc | προσ γειν ) Ψ 6. 323. 436. 440. 450. 1611. 2180. 2344. 2412 pc aeth ‖ προ γειν D d E H L P 1739 M gig p vg syh | προαγαγε ν P74 A 8. 36. 51. 81. 242. 307. 337. 453. 460. 467. 522. 915. 945. 1874. 1891 al. 21 M.-É.
