Luke 16:26

Matthew 25:46

Matthew 25:2

³ tn Grk “between us and you.”

⁴ tn Grk “handed him over to the torturers,” referring specifically to guards whose job was to torture prisoners who were being questioned. According to L&N 37.126, it is difficult to know for certain in this instance whether the term actually envisions torture as a part of the punishment or is simply a hyperbole. However, in light of the following verse and Jesus’ other warning statements in Matthew about “fiery hell,” “the outer darkness,” etc., it is best not to dismiss this as mere imagery.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁷ tn Grk “Five of them.”
