[5:44]  ¹ tc Most mss ([D] L [W] Θ Ë¹³ 33 Ï lat) read “bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you,” before “those who persecute you.” But this is surely a motivated reading, importing the longer form of this aphorism from Luke 6:27-28. The shorter text is found in א B ˹ pc sa, as well as several fathers and versional witnesses.

[9:13]  ² sn A quotation from Hos 6:6 (see also Matt 12:7).

[16:27]  ³ sn An allusion to Pss 28:4; 62:12; cf. Prov 24:12.
