Matius 6:2

6:2 Thus whenever you do charitable giving, ¹  do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues ²  and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, ³  they have their reward.

Matius 21:21

21:21 Jesus ⁴  answered them, “I tell you the truth, ⁵  if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

[6:2]  ¹ tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today. The giving of alms was highly regarded in the ancient world (Deut 15:7-11).

[6:2]  ² sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[6:2]  ³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[21:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[21:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
