Matius 18:12

18:8 If ³¹  your hand or your foot causes you to sin, ³²  cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have ³³  two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.

[24:11]  ¹ tn Or “and lead many astray.”

[24:4]  ² tn Grk “answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[24:4]  ³ tn Or “Be on guard.”

[18:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “a certain man.” The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a somewhat generic sense.

[18:12]  ⁵ sn This individual with a hundred sheep is a shepherd of modest means, as flocks often had up to two hundred head of sheep.

[18:12]  ⁶ sn Look for the one that went astray. The parable pictures God’s pursuit of the sinner. On the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, see John 10:1-18.

[24:5]  ⁷ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[24:5]  sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.

[22:29]  ⁸ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:29]  ⁹ tn Or “mistaken” (cf. BDAG 822 s.v. πλανάω 2.c.γ).

[18:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[24:24]  ¹¹ tn Or “false christs”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[18:11]  ¹² tc The most important mss (א B L* Θ* Ë^1,13 33 892* pc e ff¹ sy^s sa) do not include 18:11 “For the Son of Man came to save the lost.” The verse is included in D L^mg W Θ^c 078^vid Ï lat sy^c,p,h, but is almost certainly not original, being borrowed, as it were, from the parallel in Luke 19:10. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number as well, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.

[10:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “But go.” The Greek μᾶλλον (mallon, “rather, instead”) conveys the adversative nuance here so that δέ (de) has not been translated.

[15:24]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” The construction in Greek is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ request.

[17:17]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

[17:17]  ¹⁷ tn Or “faithless.”

[17:17]  sn The rebuke for lack of faith has OT roots: Num 14:27; Deut 32:5, 30; Isa 59:8.

[17:17]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “how long.”

[17:17]  ¹⁹ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[17:17]  ²⁰ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

[13:41]  ²¹ tn Grk “the ones who practice lawlessness.”

[18:7]  ²² tn Grk “For it.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

[27:64]  ²³ tn Grk “him.”

[5:29]  ²⁴ sn On this word here and in the following verse, see the note on the word hell in 5:22.

[16:23]  ²⁵ tn Grk “people.”

[18:9]  ²⁶ tn Grk “than having.”

[18:9]  ²⁷ tn Grk “the Gehenna of fire.”

[18:9]  sn See the note on the word hell in 5:22.

[18:6]  ²⁸ tn The Greek term σκανδαλίζω (skandalizw), translated here “causes to sin” can also be translated “offends” or “causes to stumble.”

[18:6]  ²⁹ tn Grk “the millstone of a donkey.” This refers to a large flat stone turned by a donkey in the process of grinding grain (BDAG 661 s.v. μύλος 2; L&N 7.68-69). The same term is used in the parallel account in Mark 9:42.

[18:6]  sn The punishment of drowning with a heavy weight attached is extremely gruesome and reflects Jesus’ views concerning those who cause others who believe in him to sin.

[18:6]  ³⁰ tn The term translated “open” here (πελάγει, pelagei) refers to the open sea as opposed to a stretch of water near a coastline (BDAG 794 s.v. πέλαγος). A similar English expression would be “the high seas.”

[18:8]  ³¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:8]  ³² sn In Greek there is a wordplay that is difficult to reproduce in English here. The verb translated “causes…to sin” (σκανδαλίζω, skandalizw) comes from the same root as the word translated “stumbling blocks” (σκάνδαλον, skandalon) in the previous verse.

[18:8]  ³³ tn Grk “than having.”
