[6:36] 1 sn Merciful is a characteristic of God often noted in the OT: Exod 34:6; Deut 4:31; Joel 2:31; Jonah 4:2; 2 Sam 24:14. This remark also echoes the more common OT statements like Lev 19:2 or Deut 18:13: “you must be holy as I am holy.”
[12:34] 2 sn Seeking heavenly treasure means serving others and honoring God by doing so; see Luke 6:35-36.
