Alteration: Matthew 24:36

In Matthew 24:36 it states:

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[c] but the Father only.

In the footnote for this verse in the RSV, we read:

Misquoting Jesus p. 95

On occasion the "error" that a scribe attempted to correct was not factual, but interpretive. A well-known example comes in Matt. 24:36, where Jesus is predicting the end of the age and says that "concerning that day and hour, no one knows — not the angels in heaven, nor even the Son, but only the Father." Scribes found this passage difficult: the Son of God, Jesus himself, does not know when the end will come? How could that be? Isn't he all-knowing? To resolve the problem, some scribes simply modified the text by taking out the words "nor even the Son." Now the angels may be ignorant, but the Son of God isn't. 19
