Matthew 27:19

27:19 As ⁵  he was sitting on the judgment seat, ⁶  his wife sent a message ⁷  to him: ⁸  “Have nothing to do with that innocent man; ⁹  I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream ¹⁰  about him today.”

[16:21]  ³ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

[16:21]  ⁴ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[27:19]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:19]  ⁶ tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

[27:19]  ⁷ tn The word “message” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
