Matius 13:27

13:27 So the slaves ¹  of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

Matius 26:42

26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, ²  “My Father, if this cup ³  cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.”

Matius 26:53

26:53 Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and that he would send me more than twelve legions ⁴  of angels right now?

[13:27]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[26:42]  ² tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:42]  ³ tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:53]  ⁴ sn A legion was a Roman army unit of about 6,000 soldiers, so twelve legions would be 72,000.
