        The MS evidence certainly supports the pres. subj. reading. Three
of the MSS that include it are called first-category MSS, according to the
Alands' classification scheme (_The Text of the New Testament_, pp.
106-135, 155-159). Of those that contain the aorist reading, none is
first-category in the Gospels - unless you count the second reviser of
Aleph as first-category along with the rest of that MS.
