Matthew 24:28

24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

Matthew 14:12

14:12 Then John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus.


tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.

tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.

tn Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”
