Matthew 7:17-18

7:17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad ¹  tree bears bad fruit. 7:18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit.

Matthew 19:16

The Rich Young Man

19:16 Now ²  someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to gain eternal life?”

[7:17]  ¹ tn Grk “rotten.” The word σαπρός, modifying “tree” in both v. 17 and 18, can also mean “diseased” (L&N 65.28).

[19:16]  ² tn Grk “And behold one 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). Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
