Chapter Level Commentary:
Mat_28:6. ὁ κύριος ] is wanting, no doubt, only in B à , 33, 102, Copt. Aeth. Arm. Ar.pol. one Cod. of the It. Or.int. Chrys.; but, with Tisch., it is to be condemned. This designation is foreign to Matth., while as “gloriosa appellatio” (Bengel) it was more liable to be inserted than omitted.
Mat_28:8. ἐξελθ .] Tisch.: ἀπελθ ., following B C L à , 33, 69, 124. Correctly; the more significant reading of the Received text is derived from Mark.
Mat_28:9. Before καὶ ἰδού the Received text inserts: ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο ἀπαγγεῖλαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ . No Such clause is found in B D à , min. Syr. Ar.pol. Perss. Copt. Arm. Vulg. Sax. It. Or. Eus. Jer. Aug. Defended by Griesb. Matth. Fritzsche, Scholz, Bornem. (Schol. in Luc. p. xxxix.); condemned by Mill, Bengel, Gersd., Schulz, Rinck, Lachm., Tisch. There would be nothing feeble or awkward about the words if thus inserted, on the contrary, the effect would be somewhat solemn (see Bornem.); but seeing that they are wanting in witnesses so ancient and so important, and seeing that ὡς is not found in this sense anywhere else in Matth. (other grammatical grounds mentioned by Gersd. are untenable), there is reason to suspect that they are an early addition for the sake of greater precision.
Mat_28:11. For ἀπήγγ . read, with Tisch. 8, ἀνήγγ ., though only in accordance with D à , Or. Chrys. The Received reading is taken from Mat_28:10, while ἀναγγέλλειν occurs nowhere else in Matthew.
Mat_28:14. ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡγ .] Lachm.: ὑπὶ τοῦ ἡγ ., following B D, 59, Vulg. It. But this is an explanatory correction in consequence of not catching the sense.
Mat_28:15. Lachm. inserts ἡμέρας after σήμερον , in accordance with B D L. Correctly; as Matth. does not add ἡμέρ . in any other instance (Mat_11:23, Mat_27:8), it was more natural for the transcriber to omit than to insert it.
Mat_28:17. αὐτῷ ] is wanting in B D à , 33, 102, Vulg. It. Chrys. Aug. Deleted by Lachm. and Tisch. 8. A somewhat common addition, for which other MSS. (min.) have αὐτόν .
Mat_28:19. After πορευθ . Elz. inserts οὖν , which is bracketed by Lachm. and deleted by Matth. and Tisch. Added as a connecting particle, but wanting in very important witnesses, while other and less important ones have νῦν .
