External evidence

External evidence suggests they are additions (P75 א1 A B, and other manuscripts include marks indicating their inauthenticity).

Internal evidence

These verses are suspected as being additions but modern translations include them. The NASB footnote says, “Most early mss do not contain vv 43 and 44, and the NRSV and NET bracket the verses. NA also brackets the verses but leaves them in the text because they are an early addition (as seen in the Patristic citations and allusions). The fact that they are also placed after Matthew 26:39 argues for their inauthenticity.

UBS gives the omission of the words an A rating.
