Major representatives of the Byzantine manuscripts indicate unbelief, but not jealousy. The TR text (KJV source) indicates both. The TR source manuscript(s) are probably considered minor.

By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.” (Aleph, A, B, part of Byz) Note: The bracketed section (NASV) is not in most sources.
