Matthew 26:75

26:75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly. ¹ 

Matthew 27:60

27:60 and placed it ²  in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. ³  Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance ⁴  of the tomb and went away.

¹ sn When Peter went out and wept bitterly it shows he really did not want to fail here and was deeply grieved that he had.

² tc ‡ αὐτό (auto, “it”) is found after ἔθηκεν (eqhken, “placed”) in the majority of witnesses, including many important ones, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is read by א L Θ Ë¹³ 33 892 pc). Regardless of which reading is original (though with a slight preference for the shorter reading), English style requires the pronoun. NA²⁷ includes αὐτό here, no doubt due to the overwhelming external attestation.

³ tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

⁴ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”
