This book

This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Matthew) is available too.

The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.

Two manuscript lists

ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.

Book catalog
Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
ECM (Editio Critica Maior)
The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
ECM at this verse
Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.

ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.2There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”5While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.7Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”10The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”11Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”13Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.14When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.15“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.16I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”17“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”18Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.19Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”20“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”22When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.23They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”25“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”26“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.27“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”
