Perhaps I'm ignorant in this matter, but your statement that Marcion wrote a
commentary on Matthew strikes me as somewhat incongruous. Marcion did
not accept Matthew. His scriptures consisted of a truncated version of Luke and
Paul. Where were you able to find this text?

The Greek text of Marcion's commentary on Matthew 5:17 states,
[τοῦτο οἱ ἰουδαϊσταὶ ἔγραγαν], τό οὐκ ἠλθον καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι.
οὐχ οὕτως δὲ εἶπεν ὁ χς., λέγει γάρ. οὐκ ἦλθον πληρῶσαι τ. νόμ. ἀλλὰ καταλῦσαι
[TOUTO hOI IOUDAISTAI ERGANAN], TO OUK HLTHON KATALUSAI TON NOMON ALLA PLEROSAI.
OUK hOUTOS DE EIPEN hO XRISTOS, LEGEI GAR. OUK HLTHON PLEROSAI TON NOMON ALLA
KATALUSAI.
I was wondering what the translation of the bracketed [] section is, i.e. "TOUTO
hOI IOUDAISATAI ERGANAN."
Here is my translation excluding the portion in question.
[TOUTO hOI IOUDAISTAI ERGANAN.] He who did not come to destroy the Law but
rather to fulfill. But, Jesus Christ did not say in thus manner/ so. For, he
declared, "I did not come to fulfill the Law, but rather, to destroy."
If someone could proof-read my translation and tell me what is incorrect, I
would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
