Matius 27:64

27:64 So give orders to secure the tomb until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body ¹  and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

Matius 5:32

5:32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matius 13:23

13:23 But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.” ² 

Matius 23:13

23:13 “But woe to you, experts in the law ³  and you Pharisees, hypocrites! ⁴  You keep locking people out of the kingdom of heaven! ⁵  For you neither enter nor permit those trying to enter to go in.

Matius 25:21

25:21 His master answered, ⁶  ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’

[27:64]  ¹ tn Grk “him.”

[13:23]  ² tn The Greek is difficult to translate because it switches from a generic “he” to three people within this generic class (thus, something like: “Who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one instance a hundred times, in another, sixty times, in another, thirty times”).

[23:13]  ³ tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[23:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so throughout this chapter).

[23:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “because you are closing the kingdom of heaven before people.”

[25:21]  ⁶ tn Grk “His master said to him.”
