Topics Not Included in UPDV from Editorially Omitted Pericopes

The UPDV's translation scope includes Mark, Matthew, and Luke (apart from omitted units such as Mark 14:12-16, Luke 1-2, Luke 22:7-13, and Luke 23:6-12), but the version's editorial method also omits a handful of pericopes inside those books that UPDV treats as redactional, harmonistic, or compiler-supplied. Topics whose only scriptural anchor falls inside one of those omitted units therefore have no UPDV verse to point to even though the surrounding chapter is translated. They are listed here so that readers searching for a person, place, or saying can confirm the topic is genuinely scriptural even when UPDV does not carry the text. For the underlying verses, consult the ASV (which UPDV revises) or another translation.

Matthew 14:3-12 / Mark 6:17-29 (Baptist execution flashback) and Luke 3:19-20 (detention/rebuke seam)

HERODIAS — Herodias is named in the omitted Baptist detention and execution material. Matthew 14:3-12 and Mark 6:17-29 connect her with Herod Antipas, John's rebuke over the brother's-wife marriage, and the banquet execution scene; Luke 3:19-20 names her in the compressed detention/rebuke seam without narrating the banquet.

Mark 14:12-16 (Passover preparation scene)

WATER-PITCHER SIGN — The man bearing a pitcher of water who identifies the house for the Passover meal belongs to the omitted Mark 14:13 preparation scene.

PASSOVER GUEST-CHAMBER — The householder's guest-chamber and the furnished upper room belong to the omitted Mark 14:14-15 preparation scene.

Matthew 2:1-12 (Magi / Bethlehem nativity)

ARCHELAUS — Son of Herod the Great who reigned over Judaea after his father's death; Joseph, warned in a dream, withdrew to Galilee on hearing that Archelaus reigned in his father's place. Matthew 2:22.

MAGI — Wise men from the East who, guided by a star, came to Jerusalem inquiring after the newborn King of the Jews, were directed to Bethlehem by the chief priests and scribes, and offered gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the child. Matthew 2:1-12.

Matthew 5:17-22 / 5:41 (Sermon redactional material)

JOT — The smallest character in written Hebrew, the yodh, used in Jesus's saying that not one jot or one tittle would pass from the law till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18 (the parallel "tittle" saying survives at UPDV Luke 16:17).

MILE — Roman measure of distance, the subject of Jesus's saying that whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Matthew 5:41.

RACA — Aramaic term of contempt ("empty one," roughly "fool"), the subject of Jesus's warning that whoever says "Raca" to his brother is in danger of the council. Matthew 5:22.

Matthew 6:1-8 (cult-didache framework)

CLOSET — The inner chamber to which Jesus directs his disciples to withdraw and shut the door for secret prayer to the Father who sees in secret. Matthew 6:6.

Matthew 27:3-10 (Judas's remorse / potter's field)

ACELDAMA — "Field of blood" purchased by the chief priests with the thirty pieces of silver Judas returned to them, used as a burial-place for strangers (also referenced at Acts 1:19, which is outside UPDV's translated scope). Matthew 27:7-8; Acts 1:19.

Luke 24:10-53 (post-resurrection editorial material)

CLEOPAS — One of the two disciples whom the risen Jesus joined and instructed on the road to Emmaus, who recognized him in the breaking of bread. Luke 24:18. (Distinct from Clopas, husband of one of the women at the cross in John 19:25 — see Cleophas.)
