Matius 12:22

Jesus and Beelzebul

12:22 Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus ⁵  healed him so that he could speak and see. ⁶ 

[10:3]  ¹ sn Bartholomew (meaning “son of Tolmai” in Aramaic) could be another name for Nathanael mentioned in John 1:45.

[10:3]  ² sn This is the “doubting Thomas” of John 20:24-29.

[10:3]  ³ sn See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.

[10:3]  ⁴ tc Witnesses differ on the identification of the last disciple mentioned in v. 3: He is called Λεββαῖος (Lebbaio", “Lebbaeus”) in D, Judas Zelotes in it, and not present in sy^s. The Byzantine text, along with a few others (C^[*^],2 L W Θ Ë¹ 33 Ï), conflates earlier readings by calling him “Lebbaeus, who was called Thaddaeus,” while codex 13 pc conflate by way of transposition (“Thaddaeus, who was called Lebbaeus”). But excellent witnesses of the earliest texttypes (א B ˹³ 892 pc lat co) call him merely Θαδδαῖος (Qaddaio", “Thaddaeus”), a reading which, because of this support, is most likely correct.

[12:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “demoniac, and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.”
