Matius 27:54

27:54 Now when the centurion ⁵  and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”

[7:24]  ¹ tn Grk “Therefore everyone.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[7:24]  ² tn Grk “will be like.” The same phrase occurs in v. 26.

[7:24]  ³ tn Here and in v. 26 the Greek text reads ἀνήρ (anhr), while the parallel account in Luke 6:47-49 uses ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") in vv. 48 and 49.

[26:75]  ⁴ sn When Peter went out and wept bitterly it shows he really did not want to fail here and was deeply grieved that he had.

[27:54]  ⁵ sn See the note on the word centurion in Matt 8:5.
