Matthew 8:21

Another ¹  of the ²  disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

Le 21:11,12; Nu 6:6,7; De 33:9,10; 1Ki 19:20,21; Hag 1:2; Mt 19:29; Lu 9:59-62; 2Co 5:16

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tc ‡ Most mss (C L W Θ 0250 Ë^1,13 Ï lat sy mae bo) read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) here, but the earliest witnesses, א and B (along with 33 and a few others), lack it. The addition may have been a motivated reading to clarify whose disciples were in view. NA²⁷ includes the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.
