Matius 13:2

13:2 And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while ¹  the whole crowd stood on the shore.

Matius 27:17

27:17 So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus ²  Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?” ³ 

[13:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and all the crowd.” The clause in this phrase, although coordinate in terms of grammar, is logically subordinate to the previous clause.

[27:17]  ² tc Again, as in v. 16, the name “Jesus” is supplied before “Barabbas” in Θ Ë¹ 700* pc sy^s Or^mss (Θ 700* lack the article τόν [ton] before Βαραββᾶν [Barabban]). The same argument for accepting the inclusion of “Jesus” as original in the previous verse applies here as well.

[27:17]  ³ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[27:17]  sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.
