Matthew 1:22 Update American Standard Version (UASV) 22 Now all this has happened to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
We have a mixture of witnesses, from scribe to translators, who added Isaiah (Ἠσαΐου) before the prophet (τοῦ προφήτου), which would include (D 267 954 1582*vidita?b,c,dvgmsssyrc,s,h,palarm Irenaeus1/2). This was clearly an interpolation into the text in an attempt to name the prophet that Matthew was quoting. Obviously, Isaiah (Ἠσαΐου) was not in the original reading, for if it had been, there would be no rational reason for its omission from such a massive number of Greek manuscripts. Generally, the shorter reading is preferred if it is determined that it was intentional because a scribe tended to add to the text to clarify it, as opposed to adding to it by mistake.
