Matthew 14:16-17

Context
14:16 But he 1  replied, “They don’t need to go. You 2  give them something to eat.” 14:17 They 3  said to him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

1 tc ‡ The majority of witnesses read ᾿Ιησοῦς (Ihsous, “Jesus”) here, perhaps to clarify the subject. Although only a few Greek mss, along with several versional witnesses (א* D Zvid 579 1424 pc e k sys,c,p sa bo), lack the name of Jesus, the omission does not seem to be either accidental or malicious and is therefore judged to be most likely the original reading. Nevertheless, a decision is difficult. NA27 has the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

2 tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.

3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
