5. The MS. agrees with B in omitting autou his after adelphoi brothers (so W-H); ℵA add autou (so T-R). ℵ omits kai hoi mathetai autou and his disciples.
6. emeinan they stayed : emeinen he stayed A.
7. kai engys and near : engys de near but ℵ.
9. ho Iesous Jesus : so ℵB, W-H, T-R; A has ho Iesous eis Ierousoluma Iesous the Jesus into Jerusalem Jesus.
11. ℵ originally had kai ta probata kai boas and the sheep and oxen.
14. hos as is found before phragellion scourge also in GLX, some cursives, &c.; om. hos ℵAB, W-H, T-R. ℵ originally had epoiesen ... kai pantas he made ... and all in place of the participial construction.
16. te both and tous the are omitted in ℵ.
18. ta kermata the coins : so B, W-H; to kerma the coin ℵA, T-R.

30. Iesous Jesus : so AB, W-H; ho I. ℵ, T-R.
32. [en] in : so ℵA, W-H in brackets, T-R; om. B. To read [kai] and in place of [en] would leave l. 31 too short.
