I guess I misunderstood your statement, "True in the case of Matthew 
9:1"  My apologies for the misinterpretation of your response, and still 
wholeheartedly disagree that they intend Matt 1:9 to be it's own 
paragraph.  Same with the first half of Rev 13:1.  If I had to decide, I 
would include them in the previous paragraphs, as they seems to me to 
fit quite naturally (given the NASB translation.  My NKJV gives a 
completely different translation for Rev 13:1).

If you feel scribal errors were introduces only by miscopying mss, (and 
ignoring my cites above of how scribes introduced errors), then you need 
to read more history on the subject.
