A similar statement is found at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070627/64/0" data-bid="65-1" class="b">Joh 19:34</a>, but according to <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070627/65/0" data-bid="66-1" class="b">Joh 19:33</a>, Jesus was already dead when this occurred. Most authorities, including the editors of the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070627/38/0">Nestle-Aland</a> Greek text and the United Bible Societies Greek text, believe that the words of John’s account were later added to Matthew’s account by <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070627/39/0">copyists</a>.
