UPDV Updated Bible Version

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.

Text Comparison by Chapter

The following pages show the full text comparison between the previous Matthew and the current UPDV version. Struck-through text indicates material removed; italic text indicates reconstructed replacements from Mark or Luke.

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.
