There is enough text critical evidence to raise problems for me.  As Metzger 
points
out in his _Textual
Commentary on the GNT_, several witnesses transpose verses 34-35 to follow 
verse 40.
This dislocation is
exactly what one would expect from the insertion of a marginal gloss.  
Winsome Munro
makes a good case for
this being an insertion from someone like the author of the PE.
