Chapter Level Commentary:
ἔξω ] stands in B. O. X. Δ . à .** 1, 33, Verss. Fathers before κλαίουσα , but is wanting in A. à .* Verss. Lachm. It is to be placed before κλαίουσα ; so also Tisch. Being unnecessary in itself, it came to be readily passed over, considering the like final vowel of τῷ μνημείῳ ἔξω , and partially again restored in the wrong place.
Joh_20:14. ταῦτα ] Elz.: καὶ ταῦτα , against decisive witnesses (of which L. has ταῦτα δέ ).
Joh_20:16. Ἑβραϊστί ] wanting in Elz., and is bracketed by Lachm., but so strongly attested, that it was far more probably passed over as superfluous and self-intelligible, than added to the text.
Joh_20:17. μου ] after the first πατέρα is wanting in B. D. à . Codd. It. Or. (twice as against thrice) Chrys. Epiph. Deleted by Tisch., bracketed by Lachm. Was more readily added from the surrounding context than omitted, hence the omitting witnesses are strong enough for its deletion.
Joh_20:18. ἀπαγγέλλουσα ] Lachm. and Tisch.: ἀγγέλλουσα , according to A. B. J. X. à . Codd. It. Since other important witnesses have ἀναγγέλλ ., and copyists were not conversant with the simple form (it is not elsewhere found in the N. T.), ἀγγέλλ . is to be preferred.
Joh_20:19. συνηγμένοι ] after μαθ . is by Lachm. and Tisch. deleted, on decisive testimonies. A more exactly defining gloss.
Joh_20:21. ὁ Ἰησοῦς ] is omitted by Tisch., and, considering the frequency of the addition on sufficient testimonies, justly.
Joh_20:23. ἀφίενται ] Lachm.: ἀφέωνται . The weight of testimony is very much divided; ἀφέωνται , however, was the more readily introduced for the sake of uniformity with κεκράτ ., the more familiar it was to copyists from the Synoptics.
Joh_20:25. Instead of the second τύπον , Lachm. and Tisch. have τόπον . So A. J. Curss. Vulg. Codd. It. Syr. Pers. Or. Hil. Ambr. Aug. Correctly; τύπον came to be mechanically repeated, whilst the design of the different words was left unnoticed.
Joh_20:28-29. Before ἀπεκρ ., Elz. has καί , before Θωμᾶς : ὁ , and before πεπἱστ .: Θωμᾶ . Merely additions contrary to decisive witnesses, as also αὐτοῦ also after μαθητ ., Joh_20:30, is, on important testimonies, to be, with Lachm. and Tisch., deleted.
