33 Ποιήσαντες δὲ χρόνον, ἀπελύθησαν μετ᾿ εἰρήνης ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους.*35 [95%] HF,RP,OC,TR,CP ¦ αποστειλαντας αυτους A,B,C,D [5%] NU ¦ αποστειλαντας εαυτους ℵ,*35 ℵA,B (70.8%) HF,RP,NU 2) εδοξεν δε τω σιλα επιμειναι αυτου (20.3%) OC,TR (OC is in small print) 3) εδοξεν δε τω σιλα επιμειναι αυτοθι (7.5%) CP 4) εδοξεν δε τω σιλα επιμειναι αυτους C(D) (1%) (two other readings) (0.4%) (RP,HF,NU agree that variant 1) is correct, and indeed verse 33 seems to require that Silas returned to Jerusalem; "they were sent back … to the apostles", and "they" refers to Judas and Silas. The ‘problem’ is that in verse 40 Paul chooses Silas to accompany him, so he had to be in Antioch, not Jerusalem. Accordingly the longer reading was created to solve the ‘problem’. The "some days" of verse 36 could well have been a month or two. From Antioch to Jerusalem would be a trip of some 400 miles. Silas had time to go to Jerusalem and get back to Antioch.)
