Matthew 3:9
Context3:9 and don’t think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
Matthew 25:29
Context25:29 For the one who has will be given more, 1 and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 2


[25:29] 1 tn Grk “to everyone who has, he will be given more.”
[25:29] 2 sn The one who has nothing has even what he seems to have taken from him, ending up with no reward at all (see also Luke 8:18). The exact force of this is left ambiguous, but there is no comfort here for those who are pictured by the third slave as being totally unmoved by the master. Though not an outright enemy, there is no relationship to the master either.
