{Fair weather} (eudia). An old poetic word from eu and
Zeus as the ruler of the air and giver of fair weather. So men
today say "when the sky is red at sunset." It occurs on the
Rosetta Stone and in a fourth century A.D. Oxyr. papyrus for
"calm weather" that made it impossible to sail the boat. Aleph
and B and some other MSS. omit verses 2 and 3. W omits part of
verse 2. These verses are similar to  Lu 12:54-56 . McNeile
rejects them here. Westcott and Hort place in brackets. Jesus
often repeated his sayings. Zahn suggests that Papias added these
words to Matthew.
