Matthew 12:47 is omitted in the English Standard Bible, and bracketed in the New American Standard Bible and the New American Bible. This is because the verse is not found in important early manuscripts such as ℵ* B L it-ff¹,k syr-c,s cop-sa,mae²

However, when you look at the other Greek manuscripts which do contain it, you can see that it is a clear case of parablepsis, where perhaps the scribe took a break after writing the word λαλησαι, and told himself, “When I get back, I resume after the line that ended with λαλησαι. But, when he got back, he resumed after the second occurrence of λαλησαι in v. 47, and so skipped v. 47 because he thought he had already written that part. (There were no verse numbers then.) This oversight is cause by “homoioteleuton,” that is, same ending.

In the image I made below, you can see what it might have looked like in the first few centuries after Christ:

#enoch In the gospel of Luke, chapter 16, Jesus tells us about the deaths of the rich man and Lazarus, the poor beggar. After they are both in Hades, the rich man asks Abraham to send Lazarus to get water for him, but Abraham informs him that the place Lazarus is in is separated from him by a "chasm." Did you know that in the book of Enoch, chapter 22, it says that the righteous dead are separated from the others by a chasm, and that the area separated for the righteous has a spring of water in it?
