John 7:9


Footnote:

75c

Greek ταῦτα δὲ εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς / αὐτὸς ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.

ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 7:9 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort / [NA27 and UBS4 variants] 
ταῦτα δὲ εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς / αὐτὸς ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.

The earliest manuscripts have the nominative αὐτὸς "himself". The nominative αὐτοῖς "themselves" is found in later versions/variants. Scholars would unsurprisingly take this for an error and thus ignore the singular "himself." But was it an error?
