Matthew 4:12New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;
As you can see from the above, many manuscripts have the scribal addition of “Jesus” (ὁ Ἰησοῦς) to the new verse but also the new section of verses in Matthew 4:12-17 as well, where Jesus begins preaching in Galilee. Jesus was the subject of conversation (The Devil tempts Jesus) in verses 8-11, where he was specifically mentioned by name in verse 10. In verse 11, closing the previous section, Jesus is still the subject, but the third person pronoun “him” is used, so later scribes reintroduced the subject by name at the beginning of this new section, “Jesus.” It may be for the purposes of oral reading, as Philip Comfort suggests.[2] Even modern translations (NASB NET NRSV NIV NLT) reintroduce the subject by name as well, so that there is no confusion as to who is being spoken of here.
