Matthew 15:32

Then Jesus called the ¹  disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way.”

1Sa 14:28-31; 1Sa 30:11,12; Mt 6:32,33; Mt 9:36; Mt 12:40; Mt 14:14; Mt 20:34; Mt 27:63; Mr 8:1,2; Mr 8:3; Mr 9:22; Lu 7:13; Lu 12:29,30; Ac 27:33; Heb 4:15

¹ tc ‡ Although the external evidence is not great (א W Θ 700 pc), the internal evidence for the omission of αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after “disciples” is fairly strong. The pronoun may have been added by way of clarification. NA²⁷, however, includes the pronoun, on the basis of the much stronger external evidence.
