Matthew 9:36

9:36 When ¹  he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were bewildered and helpless, ²  like sheep without a shepherd.

Matthew 22:8

22:8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but the ones who had been invited were not worthy.

Matthew 27:55

27:55 Many ³  women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support ⁴  were also there, watching from a distance.

[9:36]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:36]  ² tn Or “because they had been bewildered and helpless.” The translational issue is whether the perfect participles are predicate (as in the text) or are pluperfect periphrastic (the alternate translation). If the latter, the implication would seem to be that the crowds had been in such a state until the Great Shepherd arrived.

[27:55]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:55]  ⁴ tn Grk “and ministered to him.”
