Matthew 23:14 — a Verse the Oldest Greek Leaves Out

The verse, as the witnesses that keep it read: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.”

All below share the same shape: preserved in the Aramaic Peshitta and the Byzantine / TR / KJV; absent in the critical Greek (SBLGNT); status witness-attested, disputed; Aramaic verse-text pending. This method re-discovered the entire known omissions list from scratch — Acts 8:37, the Markan refrains, and the rest.
