[5:20]  1 tn Or “that of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[5:20]  2 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[6:1]  3 tc ‡ Several mss (א L Z Θ Ë1 33 892 1241 1424 al) have δέ (de, “but, now”) at the beginning of this verse; the reading without δέ is supported by B D W 0250 Ë13 Ï lat. A decision is difficult, but apparently the conjunction was added by later scribes to indicate a transition in the thought-flow of the Sermon on the Mount. NA27 has δέ in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.

[6:1]  4 tn Grk “before people in order to be seen by them.”

[21:32]  5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:32]  6 sn The word translated change your minds is the same verb used in v. 29 (there translated had a change of heart). Jesus is making an obvious comparison here, in which the religious leaders are viewed as the disobedient son.
