Matthew 10:24

10:24 “A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slave ¹  greater than his master.

Matthew 10:37

10:37 “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Matthew 5:44

5:44 But I say to you, love your enemy and ²  pray for those who persecute you,

[10:24]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[5:44]  ² tc Most mss ([D] L [W] Θ Ë¹³ 33 Ï lat) read “bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you,” before “those who persecute you.” But this is surely a motivated reading, importing the longer form of this aphorism from Luke 6:27-28. The shorter text is found in א B ˹ pc sa, as well as several fathers and versional witnesses.
