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 the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.4The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men.5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.6He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.7Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”8So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.10“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
