Matthew 12:50

12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is ¹  my brother and sister and mother.”

Matthew 18:35

18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your ²  brother ³  from your heart.”

¹ tn The pleonastic pronoun αὐτός (autos, “he”) which precedes this verb has not been translated.

² tn Grk “his.” The pronoun has been translated to follow English idiom (the last pronoun of the verse [“from your heart”] is second person plural in the original).

³ tn Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a), whether male or female. Concerning the familial connotations, see also the note on the first occurrence of this term in v. 15.
