Matthew 14:13

The Feeding of the Five Thousand

14:13 Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it, ¹  they followed him on foot from the towns. ² 

Matthew 16:23

16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s.” ³ 

Matthew 24:3

Signs of the End of the Age

24:3 As ⁴  he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things ⁵  happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Matthew 26:39

26:39 Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, ⁶  “My Father, if possible, ⁷  let this cup ⁸  pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

[14:13]  ¹ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[14:13]  ² tn Or “cities.”

[16:23]  ³ tn Grk “people.”

[24:3]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:3]  ⁶ sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.

[26:39]  ⁷ tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:39]  ⁸ tn Grk “if it is possible.”

[26:39]  ⁹ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.
