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
- 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.

1When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.2Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.3Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”4Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ?6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”7“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away? ”8Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.9Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery. ”10His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”11“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.12For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”13Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.14But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”15And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.16Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”17“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”18“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,19honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”20“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”21Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”22When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”27“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”28Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.30But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
