Matius 10:11

10:11 Whenever ¹  you enter a town or village, ²  find out who is worthy there ³  and stay with them ⁴  until you leave.

Matius 2:8

2:8 He ⁵  sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as well.”

[10:11]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:11]  ² tn Grk “Into whatever town or village you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every town or village they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a town or village.”

[10:11]  ³ tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city or village).

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “there.” This was translated as “with them” to avoid redundancy in English and to clarify where the disciples were to stay.

[10:11]  sn Jesus telling his disciples to stay with them in one house contrasts with the practice of religious philosophers in the ancient world who went from house to house begging.

[2:8]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
