Acts 20:31

20:31 Therefore be alert, ¹  remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning ²  each one of you with tears.

Proverbs 8:34

8:34 Blessed is the one ³  who listens to me,

watching ⁴  at my doors day by day,

waiting ⁵  beside my doorway. ⁶ 

Matthew 26:55

26:55 At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw? ⁷  Day after day I sat teaching in the temple courts, yet ⁸  you did not arrest me.

Matthew 26:2

26:2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be handed over ⁹  to be crucified.” ¹⁰ 

Matthew 4:2

4:2 After he fasted forty days and forty nights he was famished. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Or “be watchful.”

² tn Or “admonishing.”

³ tn Heb “the man.”

⁴ tn The form לִשְׁקֹד (lishqod) is the infinitive construct serving epexegetically in the sentence. It explains how the person will listen to wisdom.

⁵ tn Heb “keeping” or “guarding.”

⁶ tn Heb “at the posts of my doors” (so KJV, ASV).

⁷ tn Or “a revolutionary.” This term can refer to one who stirs up rebellion: BDAG 594 s.v. λῃστής 2 has “revolutionary, insurrectionist, guerrilla” citing evidence from Josephus (J. W. 2.13.2-3 [2.253-254]). However, this usage generally postdates Jesus’ time. It does refer to a figure of violence. Luke uses the same term for the highwaymen who attack the traveler in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30).

⁸ tn Grk “and” (καί, kai), a conjunction that is elastic enough to be used to indicate a contrast, as here.

⁹ tn Or “will be delivered up.”

¹⁰ sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.

¹¹ tn Grk “and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.”
