A Textual Commentary On The Greek NT

Luke 23:53

Luke 23:53 kei,menoj

Several witnesses (including U 13 69 124 348 1043 1194 1355 1689) add from the parallels in Matthew 27:60 and Mark 15:46 the statement kai. proseku,lisen li,qon me,gan evpi. th.n qu,ran tou/ mnhmei,ou. Furthermore, codex Bezae expands the text with a characteristic interpolation: kai. qe,ntoj auvtou/ evpe,qhken tw|/ mnhmei,w| li,qon o]n mo,gij ei;kosi evku,lion (“and after he had been laid [there] he [Joseph of Arimathea] placed over the tomb a stone which twenty men could scarcely roll”). The same or a similar expansion is found in itc (et cum positus esset in monumento, posuerunt lapidem quem vix viginti volvebant) and in the Sahidic version (“and when they had put him, they set a stone against the mouth of the sepulchre; this which hardly will twenty men be able to roll”).
