Matius 12:10

12:10 A ¹  man was there who had a withered ²  hand. And they asked Jesus, ³  “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” ⁴  so that they could accuse him.

Matius 13:28

13:28 He said, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So ⁵  the slaves replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them?’

Matius 27:11

Jesus and Pilate

27:11 Then ⁶  Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, ⁷  “Are you the king ⁸  of the Jews?” Jesus ⁹  said, “You say so.” ¹⁰ 

[12:10]  ¹ tn Grk “And behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[12:10]  ² sn Withered means the man’s hand was shrunken and paralyzed.

[12:10]  ³ tn Grk “and they asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated. The referent of the pronoun (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:10]  ⁴ sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

[13:28]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the owner’s statement.

[27:11]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[27:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[27:11]  ⁸ sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested in this charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome.

[27:11]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:11]  ¹⁰ sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 26:64.
