Matthew 22:18

[12:15]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[12:15]  ² tc א B pc lat read only πολλοί (polloi, “many”) here, the first hand of N reads ὄχλοι (ocloi, “crowds”), while virtually all the rest of the witnesses have ὄχλοι πολλοί (ocloi polloi, “great crowds”). In spite of the good quality of both א and B (especially in combination), and the testimony of the Latin witnesses, the longer reading is most likely correct; the shorter readings were probably due to homoioteleuton.

[16:8]  ³ tn Or “becoming aware of it.”

[16:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “Those of little faith.”

[16:8]  ⁵ tn Or “discussing.”
