so that you do not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Tischendorf Mt 6:18
A Textual Commentary On Matthew 6:18
(a) That I have not stated too strongly this unwillingness to surrender subjective feelings even when absolute evidence compels, is shown, I think, by Mr. Scrivener’s note on St. Matthew vi. 18 : ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ‘openly,’ is found in all Eng. in Beza and Castalio ; but is omitted by Syr. Vulg. and Campbell, I FEAR correctly,” etc. Why should there be any FEAR in simply following evidence? for TRUTH, the truth of God’s Scripture in its own proper words, is that which has alone on these questions to be upheld.
The following sentence of PORSON (Letters to Travis, pp. 149, 150) is well worthy of attention : “Perhaps you think it an affected and absurd idea that a marginal note can ever creep into the text ; yet I hope you are not so ignorant as not to know that this has actually happened, not merely in hundreds or thousands, but in millions of places. Natura (says Daillé) ita comparatum est, ut auctorum probatorum libros plerique omnes amplos quam breves malint : verentes scilicet, ne quid sibi desit, quod auctoris vel sit vel esse dicatur. To the same purpose Bengelius, Non facile pro superfluo aliquid hodie habent complures docti viri (he might have added, omnesque indocti), eademque mente plerique quondam librarii fuere. From this known propensity of transcribers to turn everything into text which they found written in the margin of their MSS., or between the lines, so many interpolations have proceeded, that at present the surest canon of criticism is, Præferatur lectio brevior.”
(S.P. Tregelles, An Account of the Printed Text of the Greek New Testament, p. 184)
