Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

This is my beloved Son - Instead of ὁ αγαπητος, the beloved one, some MSS. and versions have εκλεκτος, the chosen one: and the Ethiopic translator, as in several other cases, to be sure of the true reading, retains both.
In whom I am well pleased, or have delighted - is added by some very ancient MSS. Perhaps this addition is taken from Matthew 17:5.

And there came, a voice out of the cloud,.... See Gill on Matthew 17:5.

my beloved Son . . . hear him--reverentially, implicitly, alone.
