:*This first 10 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.

:*These two verses (27-28) appear to be off-key in several ways.  The do not say "peace be with you," but rather "my peace I give to you"; these verses criticize the [[Apostles]] for not rejoicing that [[Jesus]] is leaving them; and these verses state that "for the Father is greater than I [Jesus]" when they are one and the same under the [[Trinity]].
