Matthew 1:12

Matthew 1:25

1:25 but did not have marital relations ³  with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named ⁴  Jesus.

Matthew 13:8

13:8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

Matthew 16:8

16:8 When Jesus learned of this, ⁵  he said, “You who have such little faith! ⁶  Why are you arguing ⁷  among yourselves about having no bread?

[1:12]  ¹ tn Because of the difference between Greek style, which usually begins a sentence with a conjunction, and English style, which generally does not, the conjunction δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[1:12]  ² sn The Greek text and the KJV read Salathiel. Most modern English translations use the OT form of the name (cf. Ezra 3:2).

[1:25]  ³ tn Or “did not have sexual relations”; Grk “was not knowing her.” The verb “know” (in both Hebrew and Greek) is a frequent biblical euphemism for sexual relations. However, a translation like “did not have sexual relations with her” is too graphic in light of the popularity and wide use of Matthew’s infancy narrative. Thus the somewhat more subdued but still clear “did not have marital relations” was selected.

[1:25]  ⁴ tn Grk “and he called his name Jesus.” The coordinate clause has been translated as a relative clause in English for stylistic reasons.

[16:8]  ⁵ tn Or “becoming aware of it.”

[16:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “Those of little faith.”

[16:8]  ⁷ tn Or “discussing.”
