Matthew 23:14

[[EMPTY]] ¹ 

Ex 22:22-24; Job 22:9; Job 31:16-20; Mt 11:24; Mt 23:33-36; Mr 12:40; Lu 12:48; Lu 20:47; 2Ti 3:6; Tit 1:10,11; Jas 3:1; 2Pe 2:3; 2Pe 2:14,15

¹ tc The most important mss (א B D L Z Θ Ë¹ 33 892* pc and several versional witnesses) do not have 23:14 “Woe to you experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You devour widows’ property, and as a show you pray long prayers! Therefore you will receive a more severe punishment.” Part or all of the verse is contained (either after v. 12 or after v. 13) in W 0102 0107 ˹³ Ï and several versions, but it is almost certainly not original. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number as well, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations. Note also that Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47 are very similar in wording and are not disputed textually.
