Matthew 8:25

8:25 So they came ¹  and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!”

Matthew 15:25

15:25 But she came and bowed down ²  before him and said, ³  “Lord, help me!”

Matthew 20:33

20:33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.”

Matthew 21:29

21:29 The boy answered, ⁴  ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart ⁵  and went.

[8:25]  ¹ tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[15:25]  ² tn In this context the verb προσκυνέω (proskunew), which often describes worship, probably means simply bowing down to the ground in an act of reverence or supplication (see L&N 17.21).

[15:25]  ³ tn Grk “she bowed down to him, saying.”

[21:29]  ³ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here the referent (“the boy”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁴ tn The Greek text reads here μεταμέλομαι (metamelomai): “to change one’s mind about something, with the probable implication of regret” (L&N 31.59); cf. also BDAG 639 s.v. The idea in this context involves more than just a change of mind, for the son regrets his initial response. The same verb is used in v. 32.
