Ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν φαρισαίων καὶ σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, “O generation of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Tischendorf Mt 3:7
A Textual Commentary On Matthew 3:7
(a) ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ – according to Bloomfield, the sense is well expressed by the Syriac version – coming in order that they might be baptized. So Luke 3:7 βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ.
(b) τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ – The Peshitta seems to have read ερχομενους βαπτισθηναι, see Luke 3:12.
(c) Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus omit αὐτοῦ. The word was more likely to be unintentionally omitted in two manuscripts than to have been, for no particular reason, introduced into all the rest. Corrector of Codex Sinaiticus added αὐτοῦ after βάπτισμα.
