Even putting aside the question of Shem Tov producing the ms, and the huge amount of textual corruption, the ending section does not get close to your claims. There is nothing at the ending of Matthew about baptism at all, and nothing about "in my name".

Hebrew Gospel of MATTHEW by George Howard - Part One.pdf https://www.academia.edu/32013676/He...-_Part_One.pdf
18 Jesus drew near to them and said to them:
To me has been given all power in heaven and earth
19 Go
20 and (teach) them to carry out all the things
which I have commanded you forever.
So there is no Bible ms. support for his rendering in any language at all. |
Compare the horrid Reader's Digest style mangling of the Shem Tov version with the beautiful pure Bible text:
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
And Conybeare proposed a text with no mention of the water baptism, and then gave us this absurd and ignorant prediction:

"It may confidently be predicted that when the Greek and Latin fathers who wrote before 400 have been more carefully edited than hitherto from the best codices, scores of old readings will be restored in the text of the N.T. of which no trace remains in any Greek MS."

Trying to be a Bible corrector, when we have God's pure word, is a haughty and proud endeavor.
