Matthew 13:2

13:2 And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while ¹  the whole crowd stood on the shore.

Matthew 20:31

20:31 The ²  crowd scolded ³  them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy on us, ⁴  Son of David!”

Matthew 21:8

21:8 A ⁵  very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

[13:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and all the crowd.” The clause in this phrase, although coordinate in terms of grammar, is logically subordinate to the previous clause.

[20:31]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:31]  ³ tn Or “rebuked.” The crowd’s view was that surely Jesus would not be bothered with someone as unimportant as a blind beggar.

[20:31]  ⁴ tc ‡ The majority of mss (C W ˹ 33 Ï and several versional witnesses) read κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς (elehson Jhma", “have mercy on us”). But since this is the order of words in v. 30 (though that wording is also disputed), and since the κύριε-first reading enjoys widespread and early support (א B D L Z Θ 085 0281 ˹³ 892 pc lat), the latter was considered original. However, the decision was by no means easy. NA²⁷ has κύριε after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς here; a majority of that committee felt that since the placement of κύριε in last place was the nonliturgical order it “would have been likely to be altered in transcription to the more familiar sequence” (TCGNT 44).

[21:8]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
