Matius 6:8

6:8 Do ¹  not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Matius 6:32

6:32 For the unconverted ²  pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

Matius 28:14

28:14 If ³  this matter is heard before the governor, ⁴  we will satisfy him ⁵  and keep you out of trouble.” ⁶ 

[6:8]  ¹ tn Grk “So do not.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[6:32]  ² tn Or “unbelievers”; Grk “Gentiles.”

[28:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[28:14]  ⁴ tn Here ἐπί (epi) followed by the genitive = “before,” especially in the language of lawsuits (BDAG 363 s.v. 3).

[28:14]  ⁵ tc ‡ αὐτόν (auton, “him”) is found after πείσομεν (peisomen, “we will satisfy”) in the majority of witnesses, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is found in א B Θ 33 pc). Nevertheless, English style requires the pronoun. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[28:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “and you will not have to be worried” = “we will keep you out of trouble.”
