Matius 7:15

A Tree and Its Fruit

7:15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. ¹ 

Matius 14:28

14:28 Peter ²  said to him, ³  “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water.”

Matius 14:33

14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

¹ sn Sheep’s clothing…voracious wolves. Jesus uses a metaphor here to point out that these false prophets appear to be one thing, but in reality they are something quite different and dangerous.

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ tn Grk “answering him, Peter said.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant and has not been translated.
