Matius 6:25

Do Not Worry

6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry ¹  about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?

Matius 17:25

17:25 He said, “Yes.” When Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, ²  “What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect tolls or taxes – from their sons ³  or from foreigners?”

[6:25]  ¹ tn Or “do not be anxious,” and so throughout the rest of this paragraph.

[17:25]  ² tn Grk “spoke first to him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[17:25]  ³ 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.
