Matius 8:6

8:6 “Lord, ¹  my servant ²  is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish.”

Matius 9:12

9:12 When ³  Jesus heard this he said, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. ⁴ 

[8:6]  ¹ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Lord.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 6 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[8:6]  ² tn The Greek term here is παῖς (pais), often used of a slave who was regarded with some degree of affection, possibly a personal servant (Luke 7:7 uses the more common term δοῦλος, doulos). See L&N 87.77.

[9:12]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:12]  ⁴ sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is healthy (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.
