{And he went out and wept bitterly} (kai exelth(936e) ex(930a)eklausen pikr(9373)). A few old Latin documents omit this verse
which is genuine in  Mt 26:75 . It may be an insertion here from
there, but the evidence for the rejection is too slight. It is
the ingressive aorist (eklausen), he burst into tears. "Bitter"
is a common expression for tears in all languages and in all
hearts.
