[15:38]  ¹ tc ‡ Although most witnesses (B C L W ˹³ 33 Ï f sy^s,p,h mae) read “women and children” instead of “children and women,” it is likely that the majority’s reading is a harmonization to Matt 14:21. “Children and women” is found in early and geographically widespread witnesses (e.g., א D [Θ Ë¹] 579 lat sy^c sa bo), and has more compelling internal arguments on its side, suggesting that this is the original reading. NA²⁷, however, agrees with the majority of witnesses.

[15:38]  ² tn Grk “And those eating were four thousand men, apart from children and women.”

[22:39]  ³ sn A quotation from Lev 19:18.

[23:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[23:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “all these things will come on this generation.”

[25:6]  ⁶ tc ‡ Most witnesses have αὐτοῦ (autou, “[with] him”) after ἀπάντησιν (apanthsin, “meeting”), a reading which makes explicit what is already implied in the shorter text (as found in א B 700). The translation likewise adds “him” for clarity’s sake even though the word is not considered part of the original text. NA²⁷ has αὐτοῦ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[25:25]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:9]  ⁸ tn Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

[26:9]  ⁹ tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied (as the proceeds from the sale of the perfumed oil).
