Matthew 15:32

The Feeding of the Four Thousand

Romans 15:2-3

Hebrews 2:17

Hebrews 4:15

4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

¹ tc ‡ Although the external evidence is not great (א W Θ 700 pc), the internal evidence for the omission of αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after “disciples” is fairly strong. The pronoun may have been added by way of clarification. NA²⁷, however, includes the pronoun, on the basis of the much stronger external evidence.

² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

⁴ sn Again the combination of word (spoke to them) and healing (cured, compassionate deed) is what summarizes Jesus’ ministry: See Luke 4:38-44; 6:17-19; 7:22 (as also the disciples, 9:6).

⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 69:9.

⁶ tn Or “he was obligated.”

⁷ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

⁸ tn Or “propitiation.”
