4 sn What exactly this sign would have been, given what Jesus was already doing, is not clear. But here is where the fence-sitters reside, refusing to commit to him. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 17:3) |
1 tn Grk “And behold, Moses.” 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. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">1). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 17:25) |
2 sn The phrase their sons may mean “their citizens,” but the term “sons” has been retained here in order to preserve the implicit comparison between the Father and his Son, Jesus. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 18:6) |
3 tn The term translated “open” here (πελάγει, pelagei) refers to the open sea as opposed to a stretch of water near a coastline (BDAG 794 s.v. πέλαγος). A similar English expression would be “the high seas.” |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 18:8) |
2 sn In Greek there is a wordplay that is difficult to reproduce in English here. The verb translated “causes…to sin” (σκανδαλίζω, skandalizw) comes from the same root as the word translated “stumbling blocks” (σκάνδαλον, skandalon) in the previous verse. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 18:28) |
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so.” A new sentence was started at this point in the translation in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 20:30) |
1 tn Grk “And behold.” 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. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">1). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 21:25) |
1 tn The plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) is used here (and in v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">26) in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NAB, NRSV, “of human origin”; TEV, “from human beings”; NLT, “merely human”). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 21:29) |
1 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. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 21:32) |
2 sn The word translated change your minds is the same verb used in v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">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. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 22:4) |
1 tn Grk “Behold, I have prepared my dinner.” In some contexts, however, to translate ἄριστον (ariston) as “dinner” somewhat misses the point. L&N 23.22 here suggests, “See now, the feast I have prepared (for you is ready).” |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 23:34) |
1 tn Grk “behold I am sending.” 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. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">1). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 24:13) |

| (0.5320333) | (Mat 24:35) |
1 sn The words that Jesus predicts here will never pass away. They are more stable and lasting than creation itself. For this kind of image, see Isa 40:8; 55:10-11. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 26:7) |
2 tn Μύρον (muron) was usually made of myrrh (from which the English word is derived) but here it is used in the sense of ointment or perfumed oil (L&N 6.205). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 26:25) |
1 tn Grk “answering, Judas.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to reflect the sequence of events in the narrative. |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 26:47) |
1 tn Grk “behold, Judas.” 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. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">1). |
| (0.5320333) | (Mat 26:51) |

| (0.5320333) | (Mat 27:24) |
2 sn You take care of it yourselves! Compare the response of the chief priests and elders to Judas in here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">27:4. The expression is identical except that in here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">27:4 it is singular and here it is plural. |
