Matius 23:36

23:36 I tell you the truth, ¹  this generation will be held responsible for all these things! ² 

Matius 3:3

3:3 For he is the one about whom Isaiah the prophet had spoken: ³ 

“The voice ⁴  of one shouting in the wilderness,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make ⁵  his paths straight.’” ⁶ 

[23:36]  ¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[23:36]  ² tn Grk “all these things will come on this generation.”

[3:3]  ³ tn Grk “was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying.” The participle λέγοντος (legonto") is redundant and has not been translated. The passive construction has also been rendered as active in the translation for the sake of English style.

[3:3]  ⁴ tn Or “A voice.”

[3:3]  ⁵ sn This call to “make paths straight” in this context is probably an allusion to preparation through repentance.

[3:3]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Isa 40:3.
