  5. Click any manuscript siglum (e.g. 01, P46) to open its catalog record.

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 Mark) is available too.

The verse page gathers everything for one address: manuscript timelines, optional ECM apparatus, weighted consensus (ECM books), Greek breakdown, and John Gill's commentary.

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.

Verse page tools

Timeline
The timeline plots manuscript catalog dates (century or range). Click a dot or chip to open that witness. Undated manuscripts appear in a separate row.
GA lookup
Gregory–Aland (GA) numbers identify Greek NT manuscripts (01 = Sinaiticus, P46, 2427, etc.). Search any GA to open its catalog entry from the ~5,795-manuscript Kurzgefaßte Liste index.
Manuscript detail
Catalog metadata from NTVMR: date, contents, holding institution, and digitized page images when available. Links open NTVMR workspace and CSNTM when images exist.
Weighted consensus
For ECM books, sliders reweight manuscripts cited in the apparatus by catalog date and material type to estimate which reading has stronger witness support at each variation unit. This is an exploratory visualization — not a substitute for the printed ECM.
Textual apparatus
The apparatus lists variant readings at this verse: Greek options (a, b, c…), GA manuscripts supporting each reading, and lacunose marks (zz) where a witness exists for the verse but has no readable text at that spot.

John Gill's Exposition2 paragraphs

And she went and told them that had been with him,.... Not "with her", as the Persic version reads, but "with him"; that is, with Christ: she went, as she was bid by Christ, and told his disciples, what she had heard and seen; even those who had been with him from the beginning, and had heard his doctrines, and seen his miracles, and had had communion with him, and truly believed in him, and were his constant followers, and real disciples; not only Peter, James, and John, who were with him, particularly at the raising of Jairus's daughter, and at his transfiguration on the mount, and when in his sorrows, in the garden; but the rest of the eleven, and not only them, but others that were with them; see Luk 24:9.

As they mourned and wept, being inconsolable for the death of their Lord, and the loss of his presence; and also for their carriage towards him, that one among them should betray him, another deny him, and all forsake him: thus were they like doves of the valley, mourning for their absent Lord, and for their own iniquities; and in this condition were they, when Mary brought them the joyful news of Christ's resurrection from the dead.

ECM books show manuscripts cited at each verse plus the full book catalog (manuscripts whose content includes this book). Epistles and other non-ECM books show the book catalog only.

Textual ApparatusThe apparatus lists variant readings at this verse: Greek options (a, b, c…), GA manuscripts supporting each reading, and lacunose marks (zz) where a witness exists for the verse but has no readable text at that spot.

Apparatus conventions and abbreviations

The raw data follows the ECM/NT Greek tradition: each row pairs a reading siglum (how the editors label that option) with the manuscripts that support it—not every abbreviation is unpacked in the scholarly print volume, but these recur in this viewer.

  • om.omitted: witnesses on this row do not include the Greek word(s) printed for other readings at this place—an omission relative to manuscripts that attest the fuller text elsewhere in the apparatus.
  • a, b, c… — reading labels at this variation unit (first, second, third option). These are editorial sigla for Greek forms, not Gregory–Aland (GA) manuscript numbers.
  • GA numbers (01, P46, 2681…) — manuscripts cited by Gregory–Aland identifiers.
  • zzlacuna at this spot: counted for the verse but with no substantive text readable here when other witnesses have wording.
  • Word position — which Greek word/token in this verse each block refers to, numbered in the ECM segmentation used by the source data.
