The Book of Matthew

Overview

The UPDV Matthew is a reconstruction of the Gospel that addresses material which appears to have been added from other Gospels or which lacks attestation in the earliest sources. The reconstruction also accounts for verses whose style or vocabulary is inconsistent with the original composition. This process resulted in a renumbered chapter and verse system.

For the full discussion of the UPDV's approach to Matthew, see The Gospel of Matthew.

Status Codes

Status: o = omitted, r = reconstructed

Reason: u = unattested, s = style, c = context uncertain, t = transitional, n = numbering

Examples: {Ous} = omitted, unattested + style. {Ru} = reconstructed, unattested. {Rc} = reconstructed, context uncertain.

Formatting: [ ] around verse numbers indicate the new numbering was formed using the old system as a basis. * = see footnote at verse.
