:*This first ten omitted verses ({{bibleref|John|6|12-21}}) is a copy, sometimes verbatim, from {{bibleref|Mark|6|43-52}}, but [[John]] did not have access to the [[Gospel of Mark]] (and vice-versa). Thus the omission of these ten verses from this earliest manuscript and their close similarity to ten verses in the Gospel of Mark strongly suggest that these verses were inserted later into the [[Gospel of John]] by a scribe copying from the Gospel of Mark. | :*This first ten omitted verses ({{bibleref|John|6|12-21}}) is a copy, sometimes verbatim, from {{bibleref|Mark|6|43-52}}, but [[John]] did not have access to the [[Gospel of Mark]] (and vice-versa).
