Matthew 13:25

13:25 But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds ¹  among the wheat and went away.

Matthew 16:4

16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then ²  he left them and went away.

Matthew 21:30

21:30 The father ³  went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, ⁴  ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go.

Matthew 27:60

27:60 and placed it ⁵  in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. ⁶  Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance ⁷  of the tomb and went away.

[13:25]  ¹ tn Grk “sowed darnel.” The Greek term ζιζάνιον (zizanion) refers to an especially undesirable weed that looks like wheat but has poisonous seeds (L&N 3.30).

[16:4]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[21:30]  ³ tn “And he”; here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:30]  ⁴ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated. Here the referent (“this boy”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:60]  ⁴ tc ‡ αὐτό (auto, “it”) is found after ἔθηκεν (eqhken, “placed”) in the majority of witnesses, including many important ones, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is read by א L Θ Ë¹³ 33 892 pc). Regardless of which reading is original (though with a slight preference for the shorter reading), English style requires the pronoun. NA²⁷ includes αὐτό here, no doubt due to the overwhelming external attestation.

[27:60]  ⁵ tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

[27:60]  ⁶ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”
