5:23 So then, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

Matthew 13:21

13:21 But he has no root in himself and does not endure; ¹  when ²  trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

Matthew 17:15

¹ tn Grk “is temporary.”

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

¹ tn Grk “he is moonstruck,” possibly meaning “lunatic” (so NAB, NASB), although now the term is generally regarded as referring to some sort of seizure disorder such as epilepsy (L&N 23.169; BDAG 919 s.v. σεληνιάζομαι).

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

³ tn Grk “and his wife.”

¹ sn The custom called angaria allowed the impressment of animals for service to a significant figure.

¹ tn Grk “to everyone who has, he will be given more.”

² sn The one who has nothing has even what he seems to have taken from him, ending up with no reward at all (see also Luke 8:18). The exact force of this is left ambiguous, but there is no comfort here for those who are pictured by the third slave as being totally unmoved by the master. Though not an outright enemy, there is no relationship to the master either.
