Matius 4:17

4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message: ⁴  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

[1:15]  ¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:15]  ² sn The kingdom of God is a reference to the sovereign activity of God as he rules over his creation and brings his plans to realization.

[3:2]  ³ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Repent.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 2 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[4:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “and to say.”
