Matius 8:10

8:10 When ⁴  Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth, ⁵  I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!

[24:29]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:29]  ² tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

[24:29]  ³ sn An allusion to Isa 13:10, 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
