Matius 5:43

Love for Enemies

5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ ¹  and ‘hate your enemy.’

Matius 5:1

The Beatitudes

5:1 When ²  he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain. ³  After he sat down his disciples came to him.

Yohanes 2:9

2:9 When ⁴  the head steward tasted the water that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it came from ⁵  (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he ⁶  called the bridegroom

[5:43]  ¹ sn A quotation from Lev 19:18.

[5:1]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[5:1]  ³ tn Or “up a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὄρος, eis to oro").

[5:1]  sn The expression up the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (LXX), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.

[2:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[2:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “and he did not know where it came from.”

[2:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “the head steward”; here the repetition of the phrase is somewhat redundant in English and the pronoun (“he”) is substituted in the translation.
