Matthew 27:6

27:6 The ²⁰  chief priests took the silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.”

John 8:20

8:20 (Jesus ²¹  spoke these words near the offering box ²²  while he was teaching in the temple courts. ²³  No one seized him because his time ²⁴  had not yet come.) ²⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “it is holy to the Lord.”

² tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

³ tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology.

⁴ map For location see Map5-B2; Map6-E1; Map7-E1; Map8-E3; Map10-A2; Map11-A1.

⁵ tn Heb “was shutting and shut up.” HALOT 2:743 paraphrases, “blocking [any way of access] and blocked [against any who would leave].”

⁶ tn Heb “there was no one going out and there was no one coming in.”

⁷ tn Heb “These are [the lands] which the sons of Israel received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes assigned as an inheritance to the sons of Israel.”

⁸ tn Heb “By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by Moses, to the nine tribes and the half-tribe.”

⁹ tn Or perhaps, “for.”

¹⁰ tn The words “the produce of” are supplied for clarification.

¹¹ tn Heb “your fathers.”

¹² tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹³ tn Or “served.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “any man who rebels against your mouth and does not listen to your words, to all which you command us, will be put to death.”

¹⁵ tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).

¹⁶ tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

¹⁷ tn Heb “be over”

¹⁸ tn Heb “on their hand.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “brothers.”

²⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

²¹ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²² tn The term γαζοφυλάκιον (gazofulakion) can be translated “treasury” or “treasure room” in this context. BDAG 186 s.v. 1 notes, “It can be taken in this sense J 8:20 (sing.) in (or at) the treasury.” BDAG 186 s.v. 2 argues that the occurrences of this word in the synoptic gospels also refer to the treasury: “For Mk 12:41, 43; Lk 21:1 the mng. contribution box or receptacle is attractive. Acc. to Mishnah, Shekalim 6, 5 there were in the temple 13 such receptacles in the form of trumpets. But even in these passages the general sense of ‘treasury’ is prob., for the contributions would go [into] the treasury via the receptacles.” Based upon the extra-biblical evidence (see sn following), however, the translation opts to refer to the actual receptacles and not the treasury itself.

²³ tn Grk “the temple.”

²⁴ tn Grk “his hour.”
