12:33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad 1 and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.
1 tn Grk “rotten.” The word σαπρός, modifying both “tree” and “fruit,” can also mean “diseased” (L&N 65.28).
2 tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
