Matius 9:17

[9:17]  ¹ sn Wineskins were bags made of skin or leather, used for storing wine in NT times. As the new wine fermented and expanded, it would stretch the new wineskins. Putting new (unfermented) wine in old wineskins, which had already been stretched, would result in the bursting of the wineskins.

[9:17]  ² sn The meaning of the saying new wine into new wineskins is that the presence and teaching of Jesus was something new and signaled the passing of the old. It could not be confined within the old religion of Judaism, but involved the inauguration and consummation of the kingdom of God.

[26:29]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:29]  ⁷ tn Grk “produce” (“the produce of the vine” is a figurative expression for wine).

[27:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “Then when.” Here τότε (tote) has been translated as “now” to indicate a somewhat parenthetical interlude in the sequence of events.

[27:3]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
