Matius 7:9

7:9 Is ¹  there anyone among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

Matius 14:16

14:16 But he ²  replied, “They don’t need to go. You ³  give them something to eat.”

Matius 24:12

24:12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold.

Matius 25:39

25:39 When ⁴  did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

[7:9]  ¹ tn Grk “Or is there.”

[14:16]  ² tc ‡ The majority of witnesses read ᾿Ιησοῦς (Ihsous, “Jesus”) here, perhaps to clarify the subject. Although only a few Greek mss, along with several versional witnesses (א* D Z^vid 579 1424 pc e k sy^s,c,p sa bo), lack the name of Jesus, the omission does not seem to be either accidental or malicious and is therefore judged to be most likely the original reading. Nevertheless, a decision is difficult. NA²⁷ has the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[14:16]  ³ tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.

[25:39]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
