CHAPTER 9

Mat_9:2. ἀφέωνται ] Lachm. Tisch. 8 : ἀφίενται (also Mat_9:5), only according to B à , Or. (once). On the other hand, σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι (Lachm. Tisch.) for σοι αἱ ἁμ . is certainly supported by important testimony, but suspected, however, of being taken from Mat_9:5.

Mat_9:4. ἰδών ] Lachm.: εἰδώς , according to B M E** Π * Curss. Verss. Chrys.; a gloss. Comp. Mat_12:25; Luk_6:8.

Mat_9:5. σου ] Elz.: σοι , against decisive testimony.

ἔγειραι ] There is decisive testimony for ἔγειρε . Adopted by Scholz, Lachm. Tisch. Correctly; see the exegetical notes. In all the passages in which ἔγειρε occurs, there is found, as a diff. reading, ἔγειραι .

Mat_9:6. ἐγερθείς ] Lachm.; according to B, Vulg. Codd. of the It.: ἔγειρε . Mechanical repetition from Mat_9:5. Comp. Mar_2:11.

Mat_9:8. ἐφοβήθησαν ] so also Lachm. and Tisch., according to B D à , Curss. Verss. (also Vulg. It.) and Fathers. ἐθαύμασαν of the Received text is a gloss.

Mat_9:9. ἠκολούθησεν ] Tisch. 8 : ἠκολούθει , on the too slender authority of D à and three Curss.

Mat_9:12. The omission of Ἰησοῦς , favoured by Lachm. and Tisch. 8, rests on too slender authority; while that of αὐτοῖς , which Lachm. and Tisch. leave out, has a preponderance of evidence in its favour.

Mat_9:13. ἔλεον ] Lachm. and Tisch.: ἔλεος ; see the exegetical notes.

ἁμαρτωλούς ] Elz., Fritzsche, and Scholz insert εἰς μετάνοιαν , which B D V* Γ * Δ à , Curss. Vulg. It. Syr. utr. Perss. Aeth. al. and several Fathers omit. Supplement from Luk_5:32.

Mat_9:14. πολλά ] although deleted by Tisch. 8 (only according to B à * and three Curss.), has decisive testimony.

Mat_9:17. ἀπολοῦνται ] Lachm. Tisch. 8 : ἀπόλλυνται , after B à , Curss. Verss. The present is due to the other verbs around it.

ἀμφότεροι ] Elz.: ἀμφότερα , against decisive testimony. A correction.

Mat_9:18. εἷς ἐλθών ] Elz.: ἐλθών , only after Curss.; others: εἰσελθών ; others: τις εἰσελθών ; others: τις ἐλθών ; others: τις (or εἷς ) προσελθών ; Lachm.: εἷς προσελθών , after B à **. In the original, stood ΕΙΣΕΛΘΩΝ .[436]

Mat_9:19. Tisch. 8 (comp. on Mat_9:9) has ἨΚΟΛΟΎΘΕΙ , after B C D.

Mat_9:30. Lachm. Tisch. have the rare Alexand. form ἘΝΕΒΡΙΜΉΘΗ , which has B* à in its favour, and was replaced by the more usual ἘΝΕΒΡΙΜΉΣΑΤΟ .

Mat_9:35. ΜΑΛΑΚΊΑΝ ] Elz. inserts ἘΝ Τῷ ΛΑῷ , against B C* D S Δ à **, Curss., and several versions and Fathers. Supplement from Mat_4:23.

Mat_9:36. ἘΣΚΥΛΜΈΝΟΙ ] Elz.: ἘΚΛΕΛΥΜΈΝΟΙ . The former, on which the latter is a gloss, rests on decisive testimony.

[436] But whether εἷς ἐλθών (Griesb. Scholz, Kuinoel, Fritzsche) or εἰσελθών (Tisch.) should be written, see the exegetical notes.
