KJV ASV RSV NASV NIVn : The words “whom he also named apostles” are in brackets in the UBS text. Although they are contained by several early manuscripts and thus retained in the text, they may have been added by copyists from the parallel passage in Luke 6:13.

The words “and he appointed the twelve” are in brackets in the UBS text. The words may have been added from the beginning of verse 14, either accidently when a copyist’s eye jumped back to the wrong place, or deliberately, in order to smooth out the verse. On the other hand, since the same Greek word is translated both “and” and “even,” it is possible that these words were accidently omitted when copyists’ eyes skipped from “and” to “even.”

“Beelzebul” is the Greek spelling of the Hebrew word “Baal-Zebub,” which means “lord of flies.” It has passed through Latin into English as Beelzebub. It is used in the New Testament to refer to the devil.

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV : The words “and your sisters” are in brackets in the UBS text, because they are omitted in so many manuscripts. While it is possible that they were added by copyists as a natural addition from verse 35, it is also possible that they were omitted accidently, when copyists’ eyes jumped from “your” to “your” (“your” follows “brothers” and “sisters” in Greek).
