Matthew 12:26

12:26 So if ³  Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

Matthew 14:36

14:36 They begged him if ⁴  they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

[8:15]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then.”

[9:24]  ² tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.

[12:26]  ³ tn This first class condition, the first of three “if” clauses in the following verses, presents the example vividly as if it were so. In fact, all three conditions in these verses are first class. The examples are made totally parallel. The expected answer is that Satan’s kingdom will not stand, so the suggestion makes no sense. Satan would not seek to heal.

[14:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “asked that they might touch.”

[27:43]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Ps 22:8.

[28:6]  ⁶ tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.

[28:6]  ⁷ tc Expansions on the text, especially when the Lord is the subject, are a common scribal activity. In this instance, since the subject is embedded in the verb, three major variants have emerged to make the subject explicit: ὁ κύριος (Jo kurio", “the Lord”; A C D L W 0148 Ë^1,13 Ï lat), τὸ σῶμα τοῦ κυρίου (to swma tou kuriou, “the body of the Lord”; 1424 pc), and ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsou", “Jesus”; Φ). The reading with no explicit subject, however, is superior on both internal and external grounds, being supported by א B Θ 33 892* pc co.
