Matthew 13:54

καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ, ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν. ὥστε ἐκπλήττεσθαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ λέγειν· πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὕτη καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις;

And coming to his hometown, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this person get this wisdom and these powers?”

A Textual Commentary On Matthew 13:54

(a) Codex Sinaiticus has certain readings that are strongly suggestive of Palestinian provenance. The reading Ἀντιπατρίδα for πατρίδα at Matthew 13:54 suggests that a Caesarean-based scribe erroneously wrote the name of a nearby town. (J.K. Elliott)

Antipatris was a town about 45 km south of Caesarea, and Rendel Harris, who first realized the significance of the reading, remarked:

As it seemed to me impossible that this should be an assimilation to a passage in the Acts (Acts xxiii. 31) where Antipatris is mentioned, I referred it to the aberration of a scribe’s brain, as he sat writing in the neighbouring city of Caesarea. It is to my mind much the same as if a printed text of Shakespeare should put into Mark Antony’s speech the line: I come to Banbury Caesar, not to praise him. Such a text would probably be the work of Oxford printers.

Let us consider how the error might have occurred. I shall here assume that, as Milne and I came to believe, Sinaiticus was written from dictation. The immediately preceding text is ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς παραβολὰς ταύτας, μετῆρεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς. At this point the scribe must have felt certain that a place-name would follow, and when he heard something like τὴν πατρίδα his brain struggled to convert this into the name of a locality. Suddenly he thought of Antipatris, and Ἀντιπατρίδα went down in the manuscript. The scribe himself corrected the error, possibly at the time of writing, when the succeeding text must have shown that he had made a mistake.
(Theodore Skeat)
