This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

5. [τῇ νηστείᾳ καί] rec. before τῇ προσευχῇ with Peshito. Text אABCDEFG, Vetus Lat. Vulg. ἦτε אABCDEFG. Rec. συνέρχησθε is supported by some versions. But Vetus Lat. Vulg. and Peshito support a different reading to rec., while some copies of the first omit the verb altogether. The evidence, therefore, on the whole, is strongly in favour of the text having been amended on doctrinal grounds. See notes below. It is remarkable that St Chrysostom, in the present text of whose commentary the words omitted appear, makes no allusion to them in his remarks upon it. But he refers to them expressly elsewhere.
