and the various early versions:
Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Bohairic, Sahidic, Slavonic et al.
If there was substantive diversions in early versions, that would in fact be important. However, there is 100% unanimity for the traditional text.
Here is a reasonable summary:

Historical Evidence in favour of Matthew Chapter 28:19 and Response to Claims of Inauthenticity

There is no Greek manuscript of the last page of Matthew that does not include these words. None. Not a single one.
The words are found in every Old Latin (Vetus Latina/Itala) that date to before the Vulgate. This includes the Waldensian text-type of the Romaunt. They are also found in all Vulgate manuscripts.
The words are found in every Aramaic/Syriac edition including Tatian's Diatessaron (Gospel Harmony) from the second century which is likely based off of the Old Syriac (Vetus Syra) Curetonian and Synaitic gospels, the Peshitta and the later Philoxenian and Harklean redactions.
The words are found in every copy of the Boharic and Sahidic Coptic, Geez Ethipopic, Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Gothic, Old Church Slavonic and Saxon versions which contain the last page of Matthew's gospel.
The only outlier is a very late Hebrew manuscript (dated to 1385 A.D.) of Matthew that we will examine in its own section.
