Matthew 16

Matthew 16:2-3

:TEXT: “he answered by saying to them, “When it is evening, plyou say, ‘[It will be] fair weather; for the sky is red.’ ·And in the morning, ‘[It will be] stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ plYou know [how] to discern the appearance of the sky, but plyou cannot [discern] the signs of the times. ·An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign”

ASVn RSVn NASVn NIVn NEB TEVnCOMMENTS: The words that are missing from some manuscripts are in brackets in the UBS text. It has been argued that these words were added from the parallel in Luke 12:54-56. However, the lack of exact correspondence with the passage in Luke argues against this, especially since the text here as included contains only two minor variations. Much more variation could be expected if the text had been paraphrased from Luke. It is probable that the words were omitted by copyists who live in climates, such as Egypt, where a red sky in the morning does not mean that it will rain.

KJV ASVn NEBnCOMMENTS: The word “I” was apparently added from the parallel passages in Mark 8:27 and Luke 9:18. Here in Matthew the manuscripts that include it have it in different places.

The title “Christ” seems to have been added by some Egyptian copyists from the previous verse. Apparently the first corrector of manuscript S accidently struck out the name “Jesus” also while trying to remove the extra word.
