RSV NIV NEB : Mark has “they said to him” while Luke has “they said.” It is probable that copyists changed Matthew to be like one or the other.

KJV ASV RSV NASV : The difference between the two readings is between the absence (text) or presence (notes) of the word “the”. A most literal translation of the notes would be “the [ones] saying.” While it is possible that the word “the” was accidently omitted through a mistake of the eye (in the Greek it is spelled like the ending of the word “Sadducees”), it is more likely that the text was changed to make it read like the parallel passage in Luke 20:27. See also the similar parallel in Mark 12:18.

KJV ASVn RSVn NASVnCOMMENTS: Although it is possible that the words “of God” were omitted to make this passage read like Mark 12:25, it was not usual for copyists to omit material in making parallel passages the same; rather they would add the additional material to the place where it was missing. They words are omitted from the UBS text because they are missing from manuscripts of several types of ancient text.

: The word “lawyer” is in brackets in the UBS text, because it may have been borrowed from the parallel passage in Luke 10:25. It is included here in the text because the great majority of manuscripts include it.
