Matius 3:2

3:2 “Repent, ¹  for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Matius 10:7

10:7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’

Matius 26:55

26:55 At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw? ²  Day after day I sat teaching in the temple courts, yet ³  you did not arrest me.

[3:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Repent.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 2 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[26:55]  ² tn Or “a revolutionary.” This term can refer to one who stirs up rebellion: BDAG 594 s.v. λῃστής 2 has “revolutionary, insurrectionist, guerrilla” citing evidence from Josephus (J. W. 2.13.2-3 [2.253-254]). However, this usage generally postdates Jesus’ time. It does refer to a figure of violence. Luke uses the same term for the highwaymen who attack the traveler in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30).

[26:55]  ³ tn Grk “and” (καί, kai), a conjunction that is elastic enough to be used to indicate a contrast, as here.
