Matthew 9:34 include verse {B}

It is difficult to decide whether this verse should be included in the text or placed in the apparatus. According to several commentators (e.g. Allen, Klostermann, Zahn) the words are an intrusion here from Matthew 12:24 or from Luke 11:15. On the other hand, the evidence for the shorter text is exclusively Western and relatively meager. Moreover, the passage seems to be needed to prepare the reader for Matthew 10:25. A majority of the Committee was impressed by the preponderant weight of the witnesses that include the verse.
