Matthew 20:17

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, ¹  he took the twelve ²  aside privately and said to them on the way,

Ge 18:17; Mt 13:11; Mt 16:13; Mr 10:32-34; Lu 18:31-34; Joh 12:12; Joh 15:15; Ac 10:41

² tc ‡ A number of significant witnesses (e.g., B C W 085 33 lat) have μαθητάς (maqhtas, “disciples”) after δώδεκα (dwdeka, “twelve”), perhaps by way of clarification, while other important witnesses lack the word (e.g., א D L Θ Ë^1,13). The longer reading looks to be a scribal clarification, and hence is considered to be secondary. NA²⁷ puts the word in brackets to show doubts about its authenticity.
