RSVn NEBnCOMMENTS: Although it is possible that the text reading was borrowed from the parallel in Mark 1:11, it seems more likely that the footnote reading was taken from Psalms 2:7. Some of the evidence for the text (listed in braces above) uses the wording of Mat 3:17 (“This is . . . with whom . . . .”), either partially or a few times wholly.

The name “Sala” seems to be a Syriac form of the Hebrew name “Salmon.” There is a tradition that Luke was a Syrian from Antioch. If this is so, he may well have used the Syriac form of the name and copyists changed it to the Hebrew form to agree with Matthew 1:4-5 and the Old Testament spelling. “Salman” is a variant spelling of “Salmon” in Old Testament Greek manuscripts.

There are five other major variations of readings, plus other minor spelling and word order variations. Out of this bewildering number of readings the UBS Textual Committee chose a reading that was used at an early period by the church at Alexandria.
