Matthew 6:27

6:27 And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life? ¹ 

Matthew 7:18

Matthew 8:2

8:2 And a leper ²  approached, and bowed low before him, saying, ³  “Lord, if ⁴  you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Matthew 22:46

22:46 No one ⁵  was able to answer him a word, and from that day on no one dared to question him any longer.

[6:27]  ¹ tn Or “a cubit to his height.” A cubit (πῆχυς, phcu") can measure length (normally about 45 cm or 18 inches) or time (a small unit, “hour” is usually used [BDAG 812 s.v.] although “day” has been suggested [L&N 67.151]). The term ἡλικία (Jhlikia) is ambiguous in the same way as πῆχυς (phcus). Most scholars take the term to describe age or length of life here, although a few refer it to bodily stature (see BDAG 436 s.v. 3 for discussion). Worry about length of life seems a more natural figure than worry about height. However, the point either way is clear: Worrying adds nothing to life span or height.

[8:2]  ¹ tn Grk “And behold, a leper came.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[8:2]  ² tn Grk “a leper approaching, bowed low before him, saying.”

[8:2]  ³ tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.

[22:46]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
