When the basic definition of agrapha is sayings of Jesus outside the canonical Gospels, it is confusing to see a Gospel reference to an agrapha. Apparently, what is meant is that there is a textual variant to that verse which is deemed noncanonical (and therefore, not in the scripture except possibly as a footnote). References to scripture which are to specific textual variants need some type of distinguishing tagging - preferably one that will guide you to the correct variant.
