The Faithful and Wise Slave

24:45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave, ¹¹  whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves ¹²  their food at the proper time?

[14:7]  ¹ tn The Greek text reads here ὁμολογέω (Jomologew); though normally translated “acknowledge, confess,” BDAG (708 s.v. 1) lists “assure, promise with an oath” for certain contexts such as here.

[19:7]  ² tc ‡ Although the majority of witnesses (B C W 078 087 ˹³ 33 Ï sy^p,h) have αὐτήν (authn, “her”) after the infinitive ἀπολῦσαι (apolusai, “to divorce”), a variant lacks the αὐτήν. This shorter reading may be due to assimilation to the Markan parallel, but since it is attested in early and diverse witnesses (א D L Z Θ Ë¹ 579 700 pc lat) and since the parallel verse (Mark 10:4) already departs at many points, the shorter reading seems more likely to be original. The pronoun has been included in the translation, however, for clarity. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating reservations regarding its authenticity.

[20:14]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.

[22:17]  ⁴ tn Or “lawful,” that is, in accordance with God’s divine law. On the syntax of ἔξεστιν (exestin) with an infinitive and accusative, see BDF §409.3.

[22:17]  ⁵ tn According to L&N 57.180 the term κῆνσος (khnso") was borrowed from Latin and referred to a poll tax, a tax paid by each adult male to the Roman government.

[22:17]  ⁶ tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

[20:28]  ⁵ sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.

[26:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “What will you give to me, and I will betray him to you?”

[20:23]  ⁷ tc See the tc note on “about to drink” in v. 22.

[24:45]  ⁸ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[24:45]  ⁹ tn Grk “give them.”
