Δαυίδ (or, with dieresis, Δαυΐδ), Dauid, RP P1904 vs. Δαβίδ, Dabid, TR HF. VulgC, VulgS = David. Since the manuscripts generally have δ̅α̅δ̅, the unabbreviated spelling is unknown. Δαυίδ corresponds more closely to the Hebrew (‫דָּוִד‬), and Syriac (SyrP = ‫ܕܘܝܕ‬). No difference in our English.
We avoid capitalization on son here and in other cases (such as holy spirit), to avoid placing any interpretation on the words used. See the Introduction.
lineage: or manner of birth. The genealogy is biologically of Joseph, but it gives the royal line and so Christ's legal right to the throne of David.
Greek: Iesous, Dauid, Abraam.
Christ ← Anointed; equivalent to Messiah (from Hebrew ‫מָשִׁיחַ‬, Mashiach).

conceived: or born.
Matt 1:17 Πᾶσαι οὖν αἱ γενεαὶ ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ ἕως {RP P1904: Δαυὶδ} [TR: Δαβὶδ] γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες· καὶ ἀπὸ {RP P1904: Δαυὶδ} [TR: Δαβὶδ] ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ χριστοῦ, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες. So all the generations from Abraham to David amount to fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian deportation there are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian deportation to Christ there are fourteen generations. David (2x): on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Matt 1:18 Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἡ γέννησις οὕτως ἦν. Μνηστευθείσης γὰρ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσήφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτούς, εὑρέθη ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου. But the begetting of Jesus Christ was as follows. Now then, when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child, by holy spirit. begetting: or, more loosely, birth.
to be with child ← having in belly.
by ← out of.
See Jer 22:30 and Luke 3:23 for how this genealogy fits in a broader picture.
Matt 1:19 Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὤν, καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν παραδειγματίσαι, ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν. But Joseph, her husband-to-be, being righteous, and not wishing to make an example of her, wanted to divorce her secretly.
Matt 1:20 Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος, ἰδού, ἄγγελος κυρίου κατ' ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ, λέγων, Ἰωσήφ, υἱὸς {RP P1904: Δαυίδ,} [TR: Δαβίδ,] μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου· τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἁγίου. But after he had reflected on these things, what should happen but the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife, for that which has been conceived in her is so by holy spirit. David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
what should happen but ← behold.
by ← out of.
Matt 1:21 Τέξεται δὲ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν· αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν. And she shall bear a son, and you will call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” him ← his name, a Hebraism. We do not continue to remark on this idiom.
Matt 1:22 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Now all this took place in order that that which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, where he says,
Matt 1:23 Ἰδού, ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Μεθ' ἡμῶν ὁ θεός. “Behold, a virgin will be with child and will bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel, which when translated is ‘God with us.’ ” Isa 7:14.
a virgin ← the virgin. An unexpected definite article, a frequent phenomenon in Hebrew, including in Isa 7:14. See Gen 22:9.
Matt 1:24 Διεγερθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου, ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου· καὶ παρέλαβεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, So when Joseph had woken up from the sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife,
Matt 1:25 καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἔτεκεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν. but he did not know her until she had borne her firstborn son, and he called him Jesus.
Matt 2:1 Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ γεννηθέντος ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἐν ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου τοῦ βασιλέως, ἰδού, μάγοι ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, Now after Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, it so happened that magi from the east came to Jerusalem, had been born ← was born.
it so happened that ← behold.
Matt 2:2 λέγοντες, Ποῦ ἐστὶν ὁ τεχθεὶς βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; Εἴδομεν γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ, καὶ ἤλθομεν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ. and they said, “Where is the king of the Jews who has just been born? For we have seen his star in the east, and we have come to worship him.” have seen ← saw.
have come ← came.
We will not necessarily continue to remark on such tense accommodation (Greek aorist to English perfect-with-have). Other examples: Matt 12:28, Matt 22:4, Matt 27:46, Luke 2:30, John 13:31, Rev 19:7, Rev 21:4. The reverse case also occurs, especially in Hebrews and Revelation. See Heb 7:6. Another tense accommodation in Matt 23:20.
Matt 2:3 Ἀκούσας δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐταράχθη, καὶ πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετ' αὐτοῦ· But when Herod the king heard of it, he was disturbed, as was all of Jerusalem with him,
Matt 2:4 καὶ συναγαγὼν πάντας τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ γραμματεῖς τοῦ λαοῦ, ἐπυνθάνετο παρ' αὐτῶν ποῦ ὁ χριστὸς γεννᾶται. and when he had gathered all the senior priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where Christ was to be born. was to be born ← was born (but present tense in Greek, the tense of the direct speech).
Matt 2:5 Οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ, Ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας· οὕτως γὰρ γέγραπται διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judaea. For it has been written as follows by the prophet: as follows ← thus.
by ← through.
Matt 2:6 Καὶ σὺ Βηθλεέμ, γῆ Ἰούδα, οὐδαμῶς ἐλαχίστη εἶ ἐν τοῖς ἡγεμόσιν Ἰούδα· ἐκ σοῦ γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ἡγούμενος, ὅστις ποιμανεῖ τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

‘And you, Bethlehem, of the land of Judah,

Are by no means the least among the governmental towns of Judah,

For from you will come a governor

Who will be shepherd to my people Israel.’ ”

 Mic 5:1MT (Mic 5:2AV).
Matt 2:7 Τότε Ἡρῴδης, λάθρᾳ καλέσας τοὺς μάγους, ἠκρίβωσεν παρ' αὐτῶν τὸν χρόνον τοῦ φαινομένου ἀστέρος. Then Herod called the magi privately and assiduously inquired from them the time when the star appeared, the time when the star appeared ← the time of the appearing star.
Matt 2:8 Καὶ πέμψας αὐτοὺς εἰς Βηθλεὲμ εἶπεν, Πορευθέντες ἀκριβῶς ἐξετάσατε περὶ τοῦ παιδίου· ἐπὰν δὲ εὕρητε, ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι, ὅπως κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν προσκυνήσω αὐτῷ. and he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you find him, report back to me so that I too may go and worship him.” go and (first occurrence in verse): imperatival use of the participle.
may go and worship ← having come may worship.
Matt 2:9 Οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ ἰδού, ὁ ἀστήρ, ὃν εἶδον ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ, προῆγεν αὐτούς, ἕως ἐλθὼν ἔστη ἐπάνω οὗ ἦν τὸ παιδίον. So when they had heard the king, they went, and they saw that the star which they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it had arrived, when it remained above the place where the child was. they saw that ← behold.
Matt 2:10 Ἰδόντες δὲ τὸν ἀστέρα, ἐχάρησαν χαρὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα. Indeed, when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy, when they saw ← having seen. See Matt 23:20.
Matt 2:11 Καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, {RP P1904 S1894: εἶδον} [S1550 E1624: εὕρον] τὸ παιδίον μετὰ Μαρίας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσόντες προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνοίξαντες τοὺς θησαυροὺς αὐτῶν προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δῶρα, χρυσὸν καὶ λίβανον καὶ σμύρναν. and when they had come to the house, they {RP P1904 S1894: saw} [S1550 E1624: found] the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him, and they opened their treasure chests and offered him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh. εἶδον, saw, RP P1904 S1894 F1853=16/19 F1859=5/6 vs. εὕρον, found, S1550 E1624 F1853=3/19 F1859=1/6. AV follows RP.
Matt 2:12 Καὶ χρηματισθέντες κατ' ὄναρ μὴ ἀνακάμψαι πρὸς Ἡρῴδην, δι' ἄλλης ὁδοῦ ἀνεχώρησαν εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν. Then having been oracularly warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their country by another route.
Matt 2:13 Ἀναχωρησάντων δὲ αὐτῶν, ἰδού, ἄγγελος κυρίου φαίνεται κατ' ὄναρ τῷ Ἰωσήφ, λέγων, Ἐγερθεὶς παράλαβε τὸ παιδίον καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ φεῦγε εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἴσθι ἐκεῖ ἕως ἂν εἴπω σοί· μέλλει γὰρ Ἡρῴδης ζητεῖν τὸ παιδίον, τοῦ ἀπολέσαι αὐτό. When they had gone back, this happened: the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, “Get up and take the child and his mother with you, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod intends to seek the child in order to destroy him.” this happened ← behold.
get up: imperatival use of the participle.
stay ← be.
Matt 2:14 Ὁ δὲ ἐγερθεὶς παρέλαβεν τὸ παιδίον καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ νυκτός, καὶ ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, So he got up and took the child and his mother with him by night, and he withdrew to Egypt,
Matt 2:15 καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς τελευτῆς Ἡρῴδου· ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐκάλεσα τὸν υἱόν μου. and he stayed there until the death of Herod, in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, when he said, “I have called my son out of Egypt.” Hos 11:1.
stayed ← was.
Matt 2:16 Τότε Ἡρῴδης, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἐνεπαίχθη ὑπὸ τῶν μάγων, ἐθυμώθη λίαν, καὶ ἀποστείλας ἀνεῖλεν πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοὺς ἐν Βηθλεὲμ καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ διετοῦς καὶ κατωτέρω, κατὰ τὸν χρόνον ὃν ἠκρίβωσεν παρὰ τῶν μάγων. Then when Herod saw that he had been fooled by the magi, he became very angry, and he sent troops, and he had all the children in Bethlehem and in all its districts killed, from two years and under, according to the time which he had assiduously inquired about from the magi. that: or, less literally, how.
had ... killed ← killed, eliminated. Causative use of such a verb also in Matt 14:3, Matt 14:10, Matt 18:30, Matt 27:26, Mark 14:10, Luke 9:9, John 3:22, John 19:1, John 19:10.
Matt 2:17 Τότε ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ Ἰερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, where he says,
Matt 2:18 Φωνὴ ἐν Ῥαμᾶ ἠκούσθη, θρῆνος καὶ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὀδυρμὸς πολύς, Ῥαχὴλ κλαίουσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν παρακληθῆναι, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν.

“A cry was heard in Ramah

– Lamentation and weeping and much mourning –

Rachel weeping for her children,

And she refused to be comforted,

For they were no more.”

 Jer 31:15.
Ramah: AV= Rama, as the Greek, but we align it with the Hebrew name.
were no more ← are not (in existence).
Matt 2:19 Τελευτήσαντος δὲ τοῦ Ἡρῴδου, ἰδού, ἄγγελος κυρίου κατ' ὄναρ φαίνεται τῷ Ἰωσὴφ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, But when Herod had died, this is what happened: the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt this is what happened ← behold.
Matt 2:20 λέγων, Ἐγερθεὶς παράλαβε τὸ παιδίον καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πορεύου εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ· τεθνήκασιν γὰρ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ παιδίου. and said, “Get up and take the child and his mother with you and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the life of the child have died.” sought ← are seeking.
life ← soul.
Matt 2:21 Ὁ δὲ ἐγερθεὶς παρέλαβεν τὸ παιδίον καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ. So he got up and took the child and his mother with him and went to the land of Israel.
Matt 2:22 Ἀκούσας δὲ ὅτι Ἀρχέλαος βασιλεύει ἐπὶ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀντὶ Ἡρῴδου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐφοβήθη ἐκεῖ ἀπελθεῖν· χρηματισθεὶς δὲ κατ' ὄναρ, ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη τῆς Γαλιλαίας, But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of Herod his father, he was afraid to set off back there, but after he had been oracularly informed in a dream, he went back to the regions of Galilee,
Matt 2:23 καὶ ἐλθὼν κατῴκησεν εἰς πόλιν λεγομένην {RP P1904 S1550 E1624: Ναζαρέτ} [S1894: Ναζαρέθ]· ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν, ὅτι Ναζωραῖος κληθήσεται. and when he arrived, he settled in a town called Nazareth, in order that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he should be called a Nazarene. Ναζαρέτ, Nazaret, RP P1904 S1550 E1624 F1853=16/19 F1859=4/6 vs. Ναζαρέθ, Nazareth, S1894 F1853=3/19 (Scrivener's cdx) F1859=2/6.
In other verses, RP P1904 S1550 always read Ναζαρέτ, S1894 always reads Ναζαρέθ, and E1624 is variable. Our English is the traditional English name, though not an exact transliteration of RP.
Perhaps the references to Nazarene are to the branch, ‫נֵצֶר‬, nezer, in Isa 11:1 and / or the ↴
Matt 3:1 Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις παραγίνεται Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής, κηρύσσων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, Now in those days John the Baptist appeared on the scene, preaching in the desert of Judaea, ↳ combined testimony of references to nazarite, ‫נָזִיר‬, nazir, pointing to Christ as fulfilling the foreshadowing of one separate, in particular from sinners.
John ← Ioannes.
appeared on the scene ← becomes alongside (vivid present).
Matt 3:2 καὶ λέγων, Μετανοεῖτε· ἤγγικεν γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν. and he would say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”
Matt 3:3 Οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ῥηθεὶς ὑπὸ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου· εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ. For this man is the one spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, who said,

“The voice of one crying out in the desert,

‘Prepare the way of the Lord.

Make his paths straight.’ ”

 Our punctuation agrees with RP P1904 TBS-TR AV, but not HF, who read: crying out, ‘In the desert prepare ...’
Isa 40:3.
Isaiah: Greek and AV, Esaias.
Matt 3:4 Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶχεν τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τριχῶν καμήλου, καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ τροφὴ αὐτοῦ ἦν ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον. Now John himself wore clothing made from camels' hair and a leather belt around his loins, while his food was locusts and wild honey. wore clothing ← had his clothing.
Matt 3:5 Τότε ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία καὶ πᾶσα ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· Then Jerusalem and all of Judaea and all the region around Jordan came out to him,
Matt 3:6 καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν. and they were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matt 3:7 Ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς; But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who has intimated to you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matt 3:8 Ποιήσατε οὖν {RP P1904: καρπὸν ἄξιον} [TR: καρποὺς ἀξίους] τῆς μετανοίας· So produce {RP P1904: fruit} [TR: fruits] worthy of repentance, καρπὸν ἄξιον, fruit worthy, RP P1904 F1853=14/19 F1859=4/7 vs. καρποὺς ἀξίους, fruits worthy, TR F1853=4/19 (Scrivener's bcxy) F1859=3/7 vs. another reading, F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's u) F1859=0/7.
Matt 3:9 καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, Πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι δύναται ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ. and do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have our father Abraham.’ For I say to you that God can raise children to Abraham from these stones, to yourselves ← in yourselves.
Matt 3:10 Ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. and the axe has already been laid at the root of the trees. For every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. has already been laid ← already lies, but the verb κεῖμαι is used as the passive of to lay / put (τίθημι).
Matt 3:11 Ἐγὼ μὲν βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι εἰς μετάνοιαν· ὁ δὲ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἰσχυρότερός μου ἐστίν, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ {RP: - } [P1904 TR: καὶ πυρί]. Now I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than me, whose shoes I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with holy spirit {RP: - } [P1904 TR: and fire] καὶ πυρί, and fire: absent in RP F1853=11/19 F1859=4/6 vs. present in P1904 TR F1853=8/19 F1859=2/6. AV differs textually.
than me: or, if the reader prefers, than I.
Matt 3:12 Οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διακαθαριεῖ τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνάξει τὸν σῖτον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην, τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ. – he whose winnowing fan is in his hand – and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and he will gather his wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”
Matt 3:13 Τότε παραγίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην, τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John in order to be baptized by him,
Matt 3:14 Ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης διεκώλυεν αὐτόν, λέγων, Ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με; although John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, yet do you come to me?” although: concessive use of δέ.
tried to prevent: conative imperfect (διεκώλυεν).
Matt 3:15 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἄφες ἄρτι· οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην. Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν. But Jesus answered by saying to him, “Allow it right now, for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
Matt 3:16 Καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνέβη εὐθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος· καὶ ἰδού, ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδεν τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπ' αὐτόν. Then when Jesus had been baptized, straightaway he came up out of the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the spirit of God descending as a dove and alighting on him.
Matt 3:17 Καὶ ἰδού, φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν, λέγουσα, Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα. And there was a voice from the heavens, which said, “This is my beloved son, with whom I am very pleased.” there was ← behold.
Matt 4:1 Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνήχθη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὑπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος, πειρασθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου. Next Jesus was led up to the desert by the spirit to be tempted by the devil,
Matt 4:2 Καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσαράκοντα, ὕστερον ἐπείνασεν. and having fasted for forty days and forty nights – after all that – he was hungry.
Matt 4:3 Καὶ προσελθὼν αὐτῷ ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν, Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται. Then the tempter came to him and said, “If you are the son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
Matt 4:4 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος θεοῦ. But he answered and said, “It stands written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word issuing through the mouth of God.’ ” Deut 8:3.
Matt 4:5 Τότε παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν, καὶ ἵστησιν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ πτερύγιον τοῦ ἱεροῦ, Then the devil took him along to the holy city, and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, pinnacle: or wing.
Matt 4:6 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ θεοῦ, βάλε σεαυτὸν κάτω· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι Τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σοῦ. and he said to him, “If you are the son of God, throw yourself down. For it stands written:

‘He will command his angels concerning you,

and,

They will lift you up in their hands

In case at any time

You should strike your foot against a stone.’ ”

 Ps 91:11, Ps 91:12.
in ← on.
Matt 4:7 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πάλιν γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου. Jesus said to him, “Again, it stands written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Deut 6:16.
Matt 4:8 Πάλιν παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν λίαν, καὶ δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν, Again, the devil took him along to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
Matt 4:9 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Ταῦτα πάντα σοι δώσω, ἐὰν πεσὼν προσκυνήσῃς μοι. and he said to him, “I will give you all these if you fall down and worship me.” fall down ← having fallen down. See Matt 23:20.
Matt 4:10 Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ὕπαγε {RP P1904: ὀπίσω μου} [TR: - ], Σατανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ, Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις, καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις. Then Jesus said to him, “Be off {RP P1904: behind me} [TR: - ], Satan, for it stands written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ” ὀπίσω μου, behind me: present in RP P1904 F1853=14/18 F1859=4/7 vs. absent in TR F1853=4/18 (Scrivener's bkou, u being very doubtful) F1859=1/7 vs. ὀπίσω, behind, F1853=0/18 F1859=2/7.
Deut 6:13.
Matt 4:11 Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος· καὶ ἰδού, ἄγγελοι προσῆλθον καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ. Then the devil left him, and the next thing that happened was that angels came and took care of him. the next thing that happened was that ← behold.
Matt 4:12 Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Ἰωάννης παρεδόθη, ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· Now when Jesus had heard that John had been delivered up, he withdrew to Galilee, delivered up: or betrayed. AV differs (cast into prison), extrapolating somewhat.
Matt 4:13 καὶ καταλιπὼν τὴν {RP P1904 S1550 E1624: Ναζαρέτ} [S1894: Ναζαρέθ], ἐλθὼν κατῴκησεν εἰς Καπερναοὺμ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν, ἐν ὁρίοις Ζαβουλὼν καὶ Νεφθαλείμ· and having left Nazareth, he came and settled in Capernaum, which is beside the sea in the territories of Zebulun and Naphtali, Ναζαρέτ, Nazaret, RP P1904 S1550 E1624 F1853=15/18 F1859=5/6 vs. Ναζαρέθ, Nazareth, S1894 F1853=3/18 (Scrivener's dhx) F1859=1/6.

Matt 4:15 Γῆ Ζαβουλὼν καὶ γῆ Νεφθαλείμ, ὁδὸν θαλάσσης, πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, Γαλιλαία τῶν ἐθνῶν,

“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

The road to the sea,

Across the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles –

 Isa 8:23MT (Isa 9:1AV).
to ← of.
Matt 4:16 ὁ λαὸς ὁ καθήμενος ἐν σκότει εἶδεν φῶς μέγα, καὶ τοῖς καθημένοις ἐν χώρᾳ καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου, φῶς ἀνέτειλεν αὐτοῖς.

The people who sat in darkness

Have seen a great light,

And on those who were dwelling in a region and shadow of death

A light has risen.”

 Isa 9:1MT (Isa 9:2AV).
on ← to.
dwelling ← sitting, a Hebraism (‫יָשַׁב‬, yashav).
Matt 4:17 Ἀπὸ τότε ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς κηρύσσειν καὶ λέγειν, Μετανοεῖτε· ἤγγικεν γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν. From then on Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”
Matt 4:18 Περιπατῶν δὲ {RP P1904: - } [TR: ὁ Ἰησοῦς] παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν δύο ἀδελφούς, Σίμωνα τὸν λεγόμενον Πέτρον, καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, βάλλοντας ἀμφίβληστρον εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν· ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς. While walking by the Sea of Galilee, {RP P1904: he} [TR: Jesus] saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a round net into the sea, for they were fishermen, ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Jesus: absent in RP P1904 F1853=16/19 F1859=2/6 vs. present in TR F1853=3/19 (Scrivener's k**xy) F1859=4/6.
Matt 4:19 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων. and he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishermen of men.”
Matt 4:20 Οἱ δὲ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ. At this they immediately left their nets and followed him.
Matt 4:21 Καὶ προβὰς ἐκεῖθεν, εἶδεν ἄλλους δύο ἀδελφούς, Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ Ζεβεδαίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν, καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. Then going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James, the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them, James ← Jacob ← Iakobos (and throughout the New Testament).
a boat ← the boat. See Gen 22:9.
Matt 4:22 Οἱ δὲ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὸ πλοῖον καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ. and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
Matt 4:23 Καὶ περιῆγεν ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ θεραπεύων πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ. Then Jesus would go round all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and curing every sickness and every ailment among the people,
Matt 4:24 Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς ὅλην τὴν Συρίαν· καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας, ποικίλαις νόσοις καὶ βασάνοις συνεχομένους, καὶ δαιμονιζομένους, καὶ σεληνιαζομένους, καὶ παραλυτικούς· καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς. and his fame spread to the whole of Syria, and they brought to him all the sick with various diseases, and those afflicted with torments, and those possessed by a demon, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. spread ← went away.
with ← having.
Matt 4:25 Καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ Δεκαπόλεως καὶ Ἱεροσολύμων καὶ Ἰουδαίας καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. And large crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and beyond the Jordan. large ← many (but large justified here; AV= great).
Matt 5:1 Ἰδὼν δὲ τοὺς ὄχλους, ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος· καὶ καθίσαντος αὐτοῦ, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· But when he saw the crowds, he went up a mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him, went up a mountain ← went up into the mountain, perhaps for a mountainous region, so went up into the hills.
Matt 5:2 καὶ ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς, λέγων, and he opened his mouth and taught them and said, taught ← was teaching. The imperfect could perhaps be justified by the length of the sermon, but it is common with verbs of saying and asking, e.g. Matt 9:34, Matt 12:23, Mark 3:30, Mark 5:31, Acts 1:6, Acts 26:1 (applying to most of the 110 occurrences of ἔλεγε and ἔλεγον). We do not necessarily remark on such instances.
Matt 5:3 Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ τῷ πνεύματι· ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

For theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

 We feel that μακάριος answers to ‫אַשְׁרֵי‬, ashre, happy (compare Ps 1:1) and εὐλογητός to ‫בָּרוּךְ‬, barukh, blessed, as in Matt 21:9, quoting Ps 118:26, but happy is too weak here, and elsewhere, but English appears to lack an alternative. We also considered blissful.
The direct speech started here continues until Matt 7:27.
Matt 5:4 Μακάριοι οἱ πενθοῦντες· ὅτι αὐτοὶ παρακληθήσονται.

Blessed are those who mourn,

For they shall be comforted.
Matt 5:5 Μακάριοι οἱ πρᾳεῖς· ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν.

Blessed are the meek,

For they shall inherit the earth.

 Ps 37:11.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

For they shall be satisfied.
Matt 5:7 Μακάριοι οἱ ἐλεήμονες· ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται.

Blessed are the merciful,

For they shall be shown mercy.
Matt 5:8 Μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ· ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν θεὸν ὄψονται.

Blessed are the pure in heart,

For they shall see God.
Matt 5:9 Μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί· ὅτι αὐτοὶ υἱοὶ θεοῦ κληθήσονται.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

For they shall be called sons of God.
Matt 5:10 Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης· ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted on account of righteousness,

For theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Matt 5:11 Μακάριοί ἐστε, ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ διώξωσιν, καὶ εἴπωσιν πᾶν πονηρὸν ῥῆμα καθ' ὑμῶν ψευδόμενοι, ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ. Blessed are you whenever they reproach you and persecute you, and they speak all kinds of offensive words and lie about you on account of me. all kinds of offensive words ← every evil word.
about you: one could take καθ' ὑμῶν with offensive words, where the meaning would be against you.
Matt 5:12 Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· οὕτως γὰρ ἐδίωξαν τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς πρὸ ὑμῶν. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in the heavens is great, for it is like this that they persecuted the prophets who were before you. great ← much.
Matt 5:13 Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ ἅλας τῆς γῆς· ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἁλισθήσεται; Εἰς οὐδὲν ἰσχύει ἔτι, εἰ μὴ βληθῆναι ἔξω καὶ καταπατεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt becomes insipid, by what can it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by men. can ← will, a Hebraism.
Matt 5:14 Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· οὐ δύναται πόλις κρυβῆναι ἐπάνω ὄρους κειμένη· You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hidden if it is located on a mountain, if: conditional use of the participle.
located ← lying, but κεῖμαι can be used as the passive of τίθημι, to set, put.
Matt 5:15 οὐδὲ καίουσιν λύχνον καὶ τιθέασιν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, καὶ λάμπει πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ. nor does one light a lamp and put it under a bushel of corn, but one puts it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all those in the house. does one ← do they.
bushel ← peck, which, strictly speaking, is ¼ bushel, = 2 imperial gallons or 9 litres, e.g. of corn or hay. We retain bushel as it has acquired a metaphorical meaning.
Matt 5:16 Οὕτως λαμψάτω τὸ φῶς ὑμῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅπως ἴδωσιν ὑμῶν τὰ καλὰ ἔργα, καὶ δοξάσωσιν τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν τὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. Let your light shine like this before men, so that they see your fine works and glorify your father who is in the heavens.
Matt 5:17 Μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς προφήτας· οὐκ ἦλθον καταλῦσαι ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι. Do not think that I have come to annul the law or the prophets. I have not come to annul, but to fulfil,
Matt 5:18 Ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ, ἰῶτα ἓν ἢ μία κεραία οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου, ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται. for truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle will pass away from the law at all, until all has taken place. one jot or one tittle: the jot is Greek letter iota (ι), which may stand for the Hebrew letter yod (‫י‬), whereas the tittle is any other small stroke, such as a serif to the letter, or ornament, or punctuation mark.
has taken place ← takes place, perfective aspect.
Matt 5:19 Ὃς ἐὰν οὖν λύσῃ μίαν τῶν ἐντολῶν τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, καὶ διδάξῃ οὕτως τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἐλάχιστος κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν· ὃς δ' ἂν ποιήσῃ καὶ διδάξῃ, οὗτος μέγας κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν. So whoever breaks any one of the least of these commandments, or who teaches men to do so, will be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens, whereas it is whoever carries out and teaches the commandments who will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. or: disjunctive use of καί; (καί can stand for and, or, but etc. as a Hebraism).
who ← this (one).
Matt 5:20 Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ περισσεύσῃ ἡ δικαιοσύνη ὑμῶν πλεῖον τῶν γραμματέων καὶ Φαρισαίων, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you certainly will not go into the kingdom of the heavens. exceeds ← exceeds more than.
Matt 5:21 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, Οὐ φονεύσεις· ὃς δ' ἂν φονεύσῃ, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει· You have heard that it was said by the ancients, ‘You shall not commit murder’, and whoever commits murder shall be liable to judgment, Ex 20:13, Deut 5:17.
by: or to (the dative, typically indirect object, can also be the agent of the passive, especially in past tenses).
Matt 5:22 ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὀργιζόμενος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ εἰκῇ ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει· ὃς δ' ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, Ῥακά, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῷ συνεδρίῳ· ὃς δ' ἂν εἴπῃ, Μωρέ, ἔνοχος ἔσται εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός. but I say to you that everyone who becomes angry with his brother without reason will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin council, and whoever says, ‘You fool’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Raka: cognate with Hebrew ‫רֵיק‬, req, empty.
fiery Gehenna ← Gehenna of fire, a Hebraic genitive.
Gehenna: from Hebrew ‫גֵי־הִנֹּם‬, Ge-Hinnom, Valley of Hinnom, a place where dead bodies were constantly burnt.

Matt 5:24 ἄφες ἐκεῖ τὸ δῶρόν σου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ὕπαγε, πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, καὶ τότε ἐλθὼν πρόσφερε τὸ δῶρόν σου. leave your gift there in front of the altar and go away, and first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. come: imperatival use of the participle.
Matt 5:25 Ἴσθι εὐνοῶν τῷ ἀντιδίκῳ σου ταχύ, ἕως ὅτου εἶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μετ' αὐτοῦ, μήποτέ σε παραδῷ ὁ ἀντίδικος τῷ κριτῇ, καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδῷ τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ, καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν βληθήσῃ. Be well-disposed to your opponent quickly while you are on the way with him, in case your opponent delivers you to the judge, and the judge delivers you to the officer, and you are thrown in prison.
Matt 5:26 Ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν, ἕως {RP TR: ἂν} [P1904: οὗ] ἀποδῷς τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην.

you shall hate your enemy: there is the sense of this in, e.g., Ps 139:21, Ps 139:22.
Matt 5:44 ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, Ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς, καλῶς ποιεῖτε {RP P1904: τοῖς μισοῦσιν} [TR: τοὺς μισοῦντας] ὑμᾶς, καὶ προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς, καὶ διωκόντων ὑμᾶς· but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you spitefully and persecute you, τοῖς μισοῦσιν, to those who hate, RP P1904 F1853=17/18 F1859=6/6 vs. τους μισουντας, those who hate (a direct object of a transitive verb), TR F1853=1/18 (Scrivener's p) F1859=0/6.

A weak disparity with RP-text, R=13:14.
Matt 5:46 Ἐὰν γὰρ ἀγαπήσητε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε; Οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same?
Matt 5:47 Καὶ ἐὰν ἀσπάσησθε τοὺς {RP P1904: φίλους} [TR: ἀδελφοὺς] ὑμῶν μόνον, τί περισσὸν ποιεῖτε; Οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι οὕτως ποιοῦσιν; And if you only greet your {RP P1904: friends} [TR: brothers], what do you do that is exceptional?

Matt 6:1 Προσέχετε τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μήγε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἔχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. And take care not to give your alms in the presence of men, so as to be seen by them. Otherwise, you do not have a reward from your father in the heavens. give ← do.
from your father ← with your father.
Matt 6:2 Ὅταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.

Matt 6:8 Μὴ οὖν ὁμοιωθῆτε αὐτοῖς· οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὧν χρείαν ἔχετε, πρὸ τοῦ ὑμᾶς αἰτῆσαι αὐτόν. So do not be like them. For your father knows what you need before you ask him.
Matt 6:9 Οὕτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου. So then, pray like this:

As in heaven, so also on the earth.
Matt 6:11 Τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον.

Give us our oncoming bread today,

 oncoming ← A word only known from Matt 6:11 and Luke 11:3, apparently made up from epi = on and ousios, suggesting coming or being. Perhaps a reference to manna coming upon the earth from above. Consider also that Jesus is the bread of life from heaven: John 6:30-35.
Matt 6:12 Καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν.

Matt 6:15 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν. But if you do not forgive men their transgressions, neither will your father forgive your transgressions.
Matt 6:16 Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί· ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν, ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. Now whenever you fast, do not be like the sullen-looking hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces in order for it to be obvious to men that they are fasting.

Εἰ οὖν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν, τὸ σκότος πόσον; But if your eye is ill-disposed, the whole of your body will be dark. So if the light which is in you is darkness, how great the darkness is! We punctuate as an exclamation. RP P1904 TBS-TR punctuate as a question, How great is the darkness?
ill-disposed ← evil; in this context covetous or miserly.
Matt 6:24 Οὐδεὶς δύναται δυσὶν κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει, καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει· ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται, καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. Οὐ δύνασθε θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ {RP P1904: μαμωνᾷ} [TR: μαμμωνᾷ]. No-one can serve two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or he will cling to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. μαμωνᾷ, mamon, RP P1904 F1853=16/19 F1859=6/6 vs. μαμμωνᾷ, mammon, TR F1853=3/19 (Scrivener's cou, u being very doubtful) F1859=0/6.

Οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστιν τῆς τροφῆς, καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος; On account of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, about what you will eat and what you will drink, nor for your body, about what you will wear.

In the second sentence, we retain the Greek word order, with the lilies towards the head of their clause (prolepsis, common in Aramaic).
Matt 6:29 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδὲ Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. was clothed: aorist middle, so strictly neither passive nor reflexive, nor a habitual imperfect, but the form is used here loosely.
Matt 6:30 Εἰ δὲ τὸν χόρτον τοῦ ἀγροῦ, σήμερον ὄντα, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέννυσιν, οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι; Now if God so clothes the wild vegetation, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into a furnace, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? wild vegetation ← grass / vegetation of the field.

Matt 6:32 Πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιζητεῖ· οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων. For the Gentiles seek all these things. Well then, your heavenly father knows that you need all these things.
Matt 6:33 Ζητεῖτε δὲ πρῶτον τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα πάντα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν. But first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matt 6:34 Μὴ οὖν {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: μεριμνήσητε} [E1624: μεριμνήσετε] εἰς τὴν αὔριον· ἡ γὰρ αὔριον μεριμνήσει τὰ ἑαυτῆς. Ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς. So do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious about its own affairs. Sufficient for the day is its own evil. μεριμνήσητε, be anxious (aorist subjunctive), RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1853=15/19 F1859=4/7 vs. μεριμνήσετε, be anxious (future indicative), E1624 F1853=3/19 (Scrivener's uxy, u being very doubtful) F1859=3/7 vs. another reading, F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's x) F1859=0/7.

Matt 7:3 Τί δὲ βλέπεις τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, τὴν δὲ ἐν τῷ σῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δοκὸν οὐ κατανοεῖς; Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye but do not take notice of the joist in your own eye?
Matt 7:4 Ἢ πῶς ἐρεῖς τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, Ἄφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος ἀπὸ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σου· καὶ ἰδού, ἡ δοκὸς ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σου; Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’, when all along there is a joist in your eye? can ← will, a Hebraism.

Matt 7:5 Ὑποκριτά, ἔκβαλε πρῶτον τὴν δοκὸν ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σου, καὶ τότε διαβλέψεις ἐκβαλεῖν τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου. You hypocrite! First take the joist out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. to take the speck out ← to take out the speck out.
Matt 7:6 Μὴ δῶτε τὸ ἅγιον τοῖς κυσίν· μηδὲ βάλητε τοὺς μαργαρίτας ὑμῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν χοίρων, μήποτε καταπατήσωσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ στραφέντες ῥήξωσιν ὑμᾶς. Do not give anything sacred to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, in case they trample them with their feet and turn and tear at you.
Matt 7:7 Αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται {RP P1904c TR: ὑμῖν} [P1904u: ἡμῖν]· ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε· κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν. Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matt 7:8 Πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει, καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει, καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιγήσεται. For everyone who asks will receive, and he who seeks will find, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Matt 7:9 Ἢ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν ἐὰν αἰτήσῃ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; Or what man is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? among you ← out of you.

We punctuate as an exclamation; RP P1904 TBS-TR as a question.
Matt 7:12 Πάντα οὖν ὅσα ἂν θέλητε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς· οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται. Whatever you would like men to do to you, do the same to them. For this is the law and the prophets. whatever ← all as many as (things).

The Ninevite men will rise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's preaching, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. the judgment: we include the definite article, present in Greek, in English too, assuming this is a unique specific event, rather than just judgment, though this could be a general abstract noun. So also in the next verse.

Matt 13:6 ἡλίου δὲ ἀνατείλαντος ἐκαυματίσθη, καὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν, ἐξηράνθη. but when the sun rose, it was scorched, and because it did not have a root, it withered.
Matt 13:7 Ἄλλα δὲ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτά. And other seed fell in the thorn bushes, and the thorn plants came up and smothered it.
Matt 13:8 Ἄλλα δὲ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἐδίδου καρπόν, ὃ μὲν ἑκατόν, ὃ δὲ ἑξήκοντα, ὃ δὲ τριάκοντα. But other seed fell on good ground, and it yielded produce: some a hundredfold return, some a sixtyfold, and some a thirtyfold. good ground ← the good ground. See Gen 22:9.
produce ← fruit.
Matt 13:9 Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” ears: no pun intended, and none in Greek, where τὸ οὖς = ear (for hearing), ὁ στάχυς = ear (of corn).
Matt 13:10 Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, Διὰ τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς; Then the disciples came to him and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Matt 13:11 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἐκείνοις δὲ οὐ δέδοται. He answered and said to them, “To you it is granted to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not granted. them ← those.
Matt 13:12 Ὅστις γὰρ ἔχει, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ καὶ περισσευθήσεται· ὅστις δὲ οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ. For whoever has something, to him will be given more, and it will be in abundance, but whoever does not have anything, even that which he has will be taken from him. be in abundance ← be made to abound.
Matt 13:13 Διὰ τοῦτο ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λαλῶ, {RP TR: ὅτι βλέποντες οὐ βλέπουσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες οὐκ ἀκούουσιν, οὐδὲ συνιοῦσιν} [P1904: ἵνα βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσι καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ ἀκούωσιν, μηδὲ συνῶσι] {RP TR: - } [P1904: μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσι]. This is why I speak to them in parables, {RP TR: because} [P1904: so that] although seeing, they do not see, and although hearing, they do not hear, nor do they understand {RP TR: - } [P1904: lest they should repent]. ὅτι ... συνιοῦσιν, because ... understand, RP TR F1853=18/19 F1859=4/6 vs. ἵνα ... συνῶσι, so that ... understand, P1904 F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's y, but only as far as βλέπωσι) F1859=1/6 vs. another reading, F1853=0/19 F1859=1/6.
μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσι, lest they should (at any time) repent: absent in RP TR F1853=19/19 F1859=5/6 vs. present in P1904 F1853=0/19 F1859=1/6.
this is why ← on account of this.
although (2x): concessive use of the participle.
repent ← return.
Matt 13:14 Καὶ {RP: ἀναπληροῦται} [P1904: τότε πληρωθήσεται] [TR: ἀναπληροῦται ἐπ'] αὐτοῖς ἡ προφητεία Ἠσαΐου, ἡ λέγουσα, Ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε, καὶ οὐ μὴ συνῆτε· καὶ βλέποντες βλέψετε, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε. And {RP TR: - } [P1904: then] the prophecy of Isaiah {RP TR: is being} [P1904: will be] fulfilled in them, which says,

‘You will definitely hear

But certainly not understand,

And you will definitely see

But certainly not perceive,

 ἀναπληροῦται, is being fulfilled, RP F1853=14/20 F1859=5/6 vs. τότε πληρωθήσεται, then will be fulfilled, P1904 F1853=1/20 (Scrivener's y, but without τότε) F1859=0/6 vs. ἀναπληροῦται ἐπ', is being fulfilled in, TR F1853=3/20 (Scrivener's cux) F1859=1/6 vs. another reading, F1853=2/20 (Scrivener's s*y) F1859=0/6.
Isa 6:9.
Matt 13:15 Ἐπαχύνθη γὰρ ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν βαρέως ἤκουσαν, καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάμμυσαν· μήποτε ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν ἀκούσωσιν, καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ συνῶσιν, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν, καὶ {RP-text P1904: ἰάσομαι} [RP-marg TR: ἰάσωμαι] αὐτούς.

For the heart of this people has become obtuse,

And with their ears they hear with difficulty,

And they have shut their eyes,

Lest they should see with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart,

And repent,

And I {RP-text P1904: would heal} [RP-marg TR: should heal] them.’

 ἰάσομαι, will heal, RP-text P1904 F1853=9/19 F1859=5/6 vs. ἰάσωμαι, should heal, RP-marg TR F1853=10/19 F1859=1/6.
Isa 6:10.
obtuse ← fat.
repent ← return.
{RP: and I would heal: or but I will heal; καί can be adversative, as in Matt 13:17. The verb is not in the subjunctive, so apparently not governed by lest.}
Matt 13:16 Ὑμῶν δὲ μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοί, ὅτι βλέπουσιν· καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν, ὅτι {RP TR: ἀκούει} [P1904: ἀκούουσιν].

Matt 13:17 Ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ δίκαιοι ἐπεθύμησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ βλέπετε, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον· καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν. For truly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, but they did not see, and to hear what you hear, but they did not hear.
Matt 13:18 Ὑμεῖς οὖν ἀκούσατε τὴν παραβολὴν τοῦ {RP TR: σπείροντος} [P1904: σπείραντος]. So hear the meaning of the parable of the sower. σπείροντος, of him who sows, RP TR F1853=19/19 F1859=5/6 vs. σπείραντος, of him who sowed, P1904 F1853=0/19 F1859=1/6. No difference in our English.
Matt 13:19 Παντὸς ἀκούοντος τὸν λόγον τῆς βασιλείας καὶ μὴ συνιέντος, ἔρχεται ὁ πονηρός, καὶ {RP TR: ἁρπάζει} [P1904: αἴρει] τὸ ἐσπαρμένον ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν σπαρείς. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand, the evil one comes and {RP TR: seizes} [P1904: takes away] what was sown in his heart. This is he who was sown by the wayside. ἁρπάζει, seizes, RP TR F1853=18/19 F1859=5/6 vs. αἴρει, takes away, P1904 F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's y, misspelled) F1859=1/6.
anyone ← everyone.
Matt 13:20 Ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων, καὶ {RP TR: εὐθὺς} [P1904: εὐθέως] μετὰ χαρᾶς {RP TR: - } [P1904: δεχόμενος καὶ] λαμβάνων αὐτόν· But he who was sown on the stony ground is he who, hearing the word immediately {RP TR: - } [P1904: accepts it and] receives it with joy, εὐθὺς, immediately (1), RP TR F1853=19/19 F1859=5/6 vs. εὐθέως, immediately (2), P1904 F1853=0/19 F1859=1/6.

is he who ← this is he.
Matt 13:21 οὐκ ἔχει δὲ ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιρός ἐστιν· γενομένης δὲ θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον, εὐθὺς σκανδαλίζεται. but he does not have root in himself, but is for a season, and when tribulation or persecution comes on account of the word, he quickly stumbles. quickly ← immediately.
Matt 13:22 Ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων, καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται. And as for him who was sown in the thorn bushes, this is he who hears the word, but for whom the care of this age and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. age: AV differs somewhat (world).
Matt 13:23 Ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ συνιῶν· ὃς δὴ καρποφορεῖ, καὶ ποιεῖ ὁ μὲν ἑκατόν, ὁ δὲ ἑξήκοντα, ὁ δὲ τριάκοντα. But he who was sown on the good ground is the one who hears the word and understands it – one who indeed bears fruit – and one produces a hundredfold, while another sixtyfold, and another thirtyfold.” is the one who ← this is who.
Matt 13:24 Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς, λέγων, Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ {RP S1550 E1624: σπείροντι} [P1904 S1894: σπείραντι] καλὸν σπέρμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ· He put another parable to them and said, “The kingdom of the heavens is comparable to a man who {RP S1550 E1624: sows} [P1904 S1894: sowed] good seed in his field. σπείροντι, who sows, RP S1550 E1624 F1853=14/19 F1859=6/6 vs. σπείραντι, who sowed, P1904 S1894 F1853=5/19 F1859=0/6.

Matt 13:25 ἐν δὲ τῷ καθεύδειν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ὁ ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἔσπειρεν ζιζάνια ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σίτου, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν. But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away again, tares: probably what is known locally in our day as zewan [CB], i.e. darnel.
Matt 13:26 Ὅτε δὲ ἐβλάστησεν ὁ χόρτος καὶ καρπὸν ἐποίησεν, τότε ἐφάνη καὶ τὰ ζιζάνια. and when the grains sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares appeared as well. grains ← grass, fodder.
Matt 13:27 Προσελθόντες δὲ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου εἶπον αὐτῷ, Κύριε, οὐχὶ καλὸν σπέρμα ἔσπειρας ἐν τῷ σῷ ἀγρῷ; Πόθεν οὖν ἔχει {RP P1904: - } [TR: τὰ] ζιζάνια; Then when the servants of the master of the house went to him, they said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then is it infested with {RP P1904: - } [TR: the] tares?’ τὰ, the (tares): absent in RP P1904 F1853=16/20 F1859=2/6 vs. present in TR F1853=4/20 (Scrivener's hkm*x) F1859=4/6.

Matt 13:28 Ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτοῖς, Ἐχθρὸς ἄνθρωπος τοῦτο ἐποίησεν. Οἱ δὲ δοῦλοι εἶπον αὐτῷ, Θέλεις οὖν ἀπελθόντες {RP-text: συλλέξομεν} [RP-marg P1904 TR: συλλέξωμεν] αὐτά; So he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ Then the servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go {RP-text: out, and we will} [RP-marg P1904 TR: out and] gather them up?’ συλλέξομεν, we will gather (indicative), RP-text F1853=11/20 F1859=5/6 vs. συλλέξωμεν, we should gather (subjunctive), RP-marg P1904 TR F1853=9/20 F1859=1/6.

Matt 13:30 Ἄφετε συναυξάνεσθαι ἀμφότερα μέχρι τοῦ θερισμοῦ· καὶ ἐν {RP P1904: - } [TR: τῷ] καιρῷ τοῦ θερισμοῦ ἐρῶ τοῖς θερισταῖς, Συλλέξατε πρῶτον τὰ ζιζάνια, καὶ δήσατε αὐτὰ εἰς δέσμας πρὸς τὸ κατακαῦσαι αὐτά· τὸν δὲ σῖτον συναγάγετε εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην μου. Leave both to grow up together until the harvest, and at {RP P1904: the} [TR: the] time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, «Gather first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up, but gather the wheat into my storehouse.» ’ ” τῷ, the (time): absent in RP P1904 F1853=17/19 F1859=3/6 vs. present in TR F1853=2/19 (Scrivener's ux, u being very doubtful) F1859=3/6.
Matt 13:31 Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς, λέγων, Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔσπειρεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ· He put another parable to them and said, “The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,
Matt 13:32 ὃ μικρότερον μέν ἐστιν πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων· ὅταν δὲ αὐξηθῇ, μεῖζον {RP TR: - } [P1904: πάντων] τῶν λαχάνων ἐστίν, καὶ γίνεται δένδρον, ὥστε ἐλθεῖν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατασκηνοῦν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ. which is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows, it is bigger than {RP TR: - } [P1904: all] other vegetables, and it becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and settle on its branches.” πάντων, all: absent in RP TR F1853=10/20 F1859=5/7 vs. present in P1904 F1853=10/20 F1859=2/7.
smallest ← smaller, Greek comparative for superlative.
Mustard seeds are about the same size as cabbage or carrot seeds, but were presumably the smallest of the seeds sown at the time (beans, cucumber, corn etc.).
Matt 13:33 Ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ {RP-text: ἔκρυψεν} [RP-marg P1904 TR: ἐνέκρυψεν] εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον.

“I will open my mouth in parables;

I will utter things hidden

Since the overthrow of the world.”

 Ps 78:2.
overthrow: AV differs. Classical (see καταβάλλω in [LS]) and especially Septuagintal use of the word supports overthrow, rather than AV's foundation, which is θεμέλιος / θεμέλιον. See our Translation Issues study, and [CB] Appendix 146. Christ undoes the works of the devil; see 1 John 3:8 and also Eph 2:2, John 12:31.
Matt 13:36 Τότε ἀφεὶς τοὺς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν {RP TR: ὁ Ἰησοῦς} [P1904: αὐτοῦ]· καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, λέγοντες, Φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ. Then {RP TR: Jesus} [P1904: he] left the crowds and went to {RP TR: the} [P1904: his] house. And his disciples came to him and said, “Explain the parable of the tares in the field to us.” ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Jesus: present in RP TR F1853=18/19 F1859=6/6 vs. absent in P1904 F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's y) F1859=0/6.

left: or sent away, but that is usually ἀπολύω, as in Matt 14:15.
Matt 13:37 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁ σπείρων τὸ καλὸν σπέρμα ἐστὶν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου· So he answered and said to them, “The sower of the good seed is the son of man.
Matt 13:38 ὁ δὲ ἀγρός ἐστιν ὁ κόσμος· τὸ δὲ καλὸν σπέρμα, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας· τὰ δὲ ζιζάνιά εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πονηροῦ· The field is the world; the good seed is what represents the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the evil one. is what represents ← these are.
Matt 13:39 ὁ δὲ ἐχθρὸς ὁ σπείρας αὐτά ἐστιν ὁ διάβολος· ὁ δὲ θερισμὸς συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνός ἐστιν· οἱ δὲ θερισταὶ ἄγγελοί εἰσιν. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the consummation of the age; the harvesters are the angels. the (2x): the definite article is omitted here in the Greek as the predicates precede the verb – compare John 1:1. In the next verse, where consummation is not the predicate, the article is present.
Matt 13:40 Ὥσπερ οὖν συλλέγεται τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ πυρὶ {RP P1904: καίεται} [TR: κατακαίεται], οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου. So just as the tares are gathered and {RP P1904: burned} [TR: burned up] in a fire, so it will be at the consummation of this age. καίεται, are burned, RP P1904 F1853=15/19 F1859=5/6 vs. κατακαίεται, are burned up, TR F1853=4/19 (Scrivener's cuxy, u being very doubtful) F1859=1/6.
Matt 13:41 Ἀποστελεῖ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλέξουσιν ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ σκάνδαλα καὶ τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὴν ἀνομίαν, The son of man will send his angels, and they will gather up out of his kingdom all causes of offence, and those who commit iniquity,
Matt 13:42 καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. and they will throw them into the fiery furnace. There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. fiery furnace ← furnace of fire, a Hebraic genitive.
Matt 13:43 Τότε οἱ δίκαιοι ἐκλάμψουσιν ὡς ὁ ἥλιος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν. Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. shine ← shine out.
Compare Dan 12:3.
Matt 13:44 Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν θησαυρῷ κεκρυμμένῳ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔκρυψεν· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἔχει πωλεῖ, καὶ ἀγοράζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid, and for the joy of it went away and sold everything he had and bought that field. Greek: hid is in the past tense (aorist), but went, sold, and bought are in the vivid present.
Matt 13:45 Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐμπόρῳ ζητοῦντι καλοὺς μαργαρίτας· Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking good quality pearls, merchant ← merchant man.
Matt 13:46 ὃς εὑρὼν ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην, ἀπελθὼν πέπρακεν πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν, καὶ ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν. who, finding one very expensive pearl, went away and sold everything he had and bought it. sold ← has sold. See Matt 2:2, though the aorist of this verb (but not of πωλέω) is wanting.
Matt 13:47 Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν σαγήνῃ βληθείσῃ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἐκ παντὸς γένους συναγαγούσῃ· Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet which was cast in the sea and caught all sorts of species, all sorts of species ← out of every race.
Matt 13:48 ἥν, ὅτε ἐπληρώθη, ἀναβιβάσαντες {RP TR: - } [P1904: αὐτὴν] ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλόν, καὶ καθίσαντες, συνέλεξαν τὰ καλὰ εἰς ἀγγεῖα, τὰ δὲ σαπρὰ ἔξω ἔβαλον. which, when it was full, they brought to land on the shore and sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but they threw the rotten fish out. αὐτὴν, (which ... they brought) it: absent in RP TR F1853=18/19 F1859=6/6 vs. present in P1904 F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's s) F1859=0/6. The pleonastic αὐτὴν is a Hebraism.
Matt 13:49 Οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος· ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ ἀφοριοῦσιν τοὺς πονηροὺς ἐκ μέσου τῶν δικαίων, So will it be in the consummation of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil ones from the midst of the righteous, age: see Matt 13:22.
Matt 13:50 καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. and they will throw them into the fiery furnace. There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” fiery furnace ← furnace of fire, a Hebraic genitive.
Matt 13:51 Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Συνήκατε ταῦτα πάντα; Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Ναί, κύριε. Jesus said to them, “Did you understand all these things?” And they said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
Matt 13:52 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Διὰ τοῦτο πᾶς γραμματεὺς μαθητευθεὶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ, ὅστις ἐκβάλλει ἐκ τοῦ θησαυροῦ αὐτοῦ καινὰ καὶ παλαιά. But he said to them, “On account of this, every scribe who has been schooled in the kingdom of the heavens is like a master of a house who brings out of his storehouse new things and old.” brings out: classically, casts out, but, perhaps under Semitic influence (‫הוֹצִיא‬), also brings out.

Matt 15:18 Τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον. But the things which come out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those things defile a man.

My daughter is severely possessed by a demon.” David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
it so happened that ← behold.
This section shows the dispensational position of Gentiles at the time. Contrast Eph 2:11-19.
Matt 15:23 Ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτων αὐτόν, λέγοντες, Ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν. But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and appealed to him and said, “Send her away, because she is shouting after us.” appealed to ← asked.

But she came and worshipped him and said, “Lord, help me.” προσεκύνησεν, worshipped, RP P1904 F1853=16/20 F1859=6/6 vs. προσεκύνει, was worshipping, TR F1853=4/20 (Scrivener's eqru, u being very doubtful) F1859=0/6. No difference in our English.
Matt 15:26 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων, καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις. But he answered and said, “It is not right to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs.” dogs ← little dogs, but the diminutive force need not be stressed [MZ] §485.
Matt 15:27 Ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Ναί, κύριε· καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν. But she said, “Indeed, Lord. But even the dogs eat from the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.”

Matt 15:29 Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας· καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὸ ὄρος ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ. Then Jesus moved on from there and went beside the sea of Galilee, and he went up the mountain, and he sat there, the: perhaps a specific mountain. Compare Matt 14:23, where we think a specific mountain less likely.
Matt 15:30 Καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, ἔχοντες μεθ' ἑαυτῶν χωλούς, τυφλούς, κωφούς, κυλλούς, καὶ ἑτέρους πολλούς, καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς· and large crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed and many others, and they laid them down at the feet of Jesus, and he cured them, bringing ← having.
mute: not deaf here in RP TR; see next verse (κωφός can mean either), but P1904 requires deaf because of its text in the next verse.
Matt 15:31 ὥστε τοὺς ὄχλους θαυμάσαι, βλέποντας κωφοὺς {RP TR: - } [P1904: ἀκούοντας, ἀλάλους] λαλοῦντας, κυλλοὺς ὑγιεῖς, χωλοὺς περιπατοῦντας, καὶ τυφλοὺς βλέποντας· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν θεὸν Ἰσραήλ. so that the crowds were amazed, seeing {RP TR: - } [P1904: the deaf hearing,] the mute speaking, the maimed restored, the lame walking and the blind seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel. ἀκούοντας, ἀλάλους, the deaf hearing: absent in RP TR F1853=20/20 F1859=4/6 vs. present in P1904 F1853=0/20 F1859=2/6. F1853 and F1859 are very significantly disparate, X2=7.2 PV=0.7%. Note how κωφοὺς is the mute or the deaf according to the reading taken.
An allusion to Isa 35:5, Isa 35:6.
restored ← healthy.
Matt 15:32 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν, Σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη {RP P1904: ἡμέραι} [TR: ἡμέρας] τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. Then Jesus called his disciples and said, “I feel compassion for the crowd, because it has been three days already that they have stayed with me and have not had anything to eat. And I do not want to dismiss them fasting, in case they faint on the way.” ἡμέραι, days (nominative), RP P1904 F1853=10/20 F1859=5/6 vs. ἡμέρας, days (accusative of time how long), TR F1853=10/20 F1859=1/6.
Matt 15:33 Καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, Πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι, ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον; Then the disciples said to him, “Where can we get enough loaves to feed so large a crowd in such a desolate place?” can we get ← to us.
enough ← so many.
Matt 15:34 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, Ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια. At this Jesus said to them, “How many loaves have you got?” Then they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” at this: wider use of καί.
Matt 15:35 Καὶ ἐκέλευσεν τοῖς ὄχλοις ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· Then he ordered the crowds to recline on the ground,
Matt 15:36 καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας, εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν, καὶ ἔδωκεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ {RP TR: τῷ ὄχλῳ} [P1904: τοῖς ὄχλοις]. and he took the seven loaves and the fish, and he gave thanks, and he broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, while the disciples gave it to the {RP TR: crowd} [P1904: crowds]. τῷ ὄχλῳ, to the crowd, RP TR F1853=18/20 F1859=5/6 vs. τοῖς ὄχλοις, to the crowds, P1904 F1853=2/20 (Scrivener's cy) F1859=1/6.
Matt 15:37 Καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν· καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων, ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις. And they all ate and were filled, and they gathered up the excess pieces – seven hampers full.
Matt 15:38 Οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες, χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων. Now those who ate were four thousand men, excluding women and children.
Matt 15:39 Καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους {RP-text P1904 TR: ἐνέβη} [RP-marg: ἀνέβη] εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγδαλά. Then he dismissed the crowds and went {RP-text P1904 TR: on board} [RP-marg: up into] the boat and went to the regions of Magdala. ἐνέβη, went in, RP-text P1904 TR F1853=10/20 F1859=1/6 vs. ἀνέβη, went up, RP-marg F1853=10/20 F1859=5/6. No difference in our English. A weak disparity with RP-text, R=13:15.
Matt 16:1 Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ Σαδδουκαῖοι πειράζοντες ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν σημεῖον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτοῖς. Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, putting him to the test, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Matt 16:2 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὀψίας γενομένης λέγετε, Εὐδία· πυρράζει γὰρ ὁ οὐρανός. But he answered and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is fiery red’,
Matt 16:3 Καὶ πρωΐ, Σήμερον χειμών· πυρράζει γὰρ στυγνάζων ὁ οὐρανός. Ὑποκριταί, τὸ μὲν πρόσωπον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ γινώσκετε διακρίνειν, τὰ δὲ σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν οὐ δύνασθε {RP TR: - } [P1904: γνῶναι]; and in the morning, you say, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is fiery red and overcast.’ You hypocrites!

We punctuate as a statement; RP P1904 TBS-TR as a question: Do you know how to discern ...
[P1904: recognize ← know.]
Matt 16:4 Γενεὰ πονηρὰ καὶ μοιχαλὶς σημεῖον ἐπιζητεῖ· καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ, εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου. Καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτούς, ἀπῆλθεν. An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.” Then he left them and went away.
Matt 16:5 Καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πέραν ἐπελάθοντο ἄρτους λαβεῖν. Then his disciples came to the far side, but they had forgotten to take bread with them.
Matt 16:6 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁρᾶτε καὶ προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων. However, Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Matt 16:7 Οἱ δὲ διελογίζοντο ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, λέγοντες ὅτι Ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβομεν. But they reasoned among themselves and said, “It is because we have not taken any bread with us.”
Matt 16:8 Γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τί διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, ὀλιγόπιστοι, ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβετε; But Jesus knew about it and said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, in that you did not take bread with you?
Matt 16:9 Οὔπω νοεῖτε, οὐδὲ μνημονεύετε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσους κοφίνους ἐλάβετε; Do you still not understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many basketsful you picked up?
Matt 16:10 Οὐδὲ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους τῶν τετρακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσας σπυρίδας ἐλάβετε; Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many hampers full you picked up?
Matt 16:11 Πῶς οὐ νοεῖτε, ὅτι οὐ περὶ ἄρτου εἶπον ὑμῖν προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων; How come you do not understand that it was not about bread that I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
Matt 16:12 Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τοῦ ἄρτου, {RP: ἀλλὰ} [P1904 TR: ἀλλ'] ἀπὸ τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων. Then they understood that he had not said to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ἀλλὰ, but (unapocopated form), RP F1853=12/20 F1859=4/6 vs. ἀλλ', but (apocopated form), P1904 TR F1853=8/20 F1859=2/6.
Matt 16:13 Ἐλθὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὰ μέρη Καισαρείας τῆς Φιλίππου ἠρώτα τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, λέγων, Τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἶναι, τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; Now when Jesus went to the districts of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples and said, “Who do men say that I, the son of man, am?”
Matt 16:14 Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, Οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν· ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν· ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν, ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν. And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Matt 16:15 Λέγει αὐτοῖς, Ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι; Then he said to them, “But who do you say I am?”
Matt 16:16 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Σίμων Πέτρος εἶπεν, Σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος. And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.”
Matt 16:17 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Μακάριος εἶ, Σίμων {RP P1904: Βαριωνᾶ} [TR: Βὰρ Ἰωνᾶ], ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψέν σοι, ἀλλ' ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. Then Jesus replied and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon {RP P1904: Barjonah} [TR: Bar Jonah], because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my father in the heavens. Βαριωνᾶ, Barjonah, RP P1904 vs. Βὰρ Ἰωνᾶ, Bar Jonah, TR. We do not normally regard one-word / two-word issues as significant, but as this affects the English rendering, we note the distinction here.
Matt 16:18 Κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω, ὅτι σὺ εἶ Πέτρος, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ πύλαι ᾍδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς. And I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. church: literally, outcalling, which can be taken as our perpetual marginal reading. God defines who belongs to an outcalling, not man. In Acts 2:47, it is “those who became saved”.
Hades: the place of the dead.
Matt 16:19 Καὶ δώσω σοὶ τὰς κλεῖς τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν· καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you bind on the earth will be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth will be loosened in the heavens.” bind: i.e. restrict, forbid.
loosen: i.e. allow.

Matt 16:21 Ἀπὸ τότε ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς δεικνύειν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ πολλὰ παθεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἀρχιερέων καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθῆναι. From then Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and senior priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to rise on the third day. to rise: or to be raised.
Matt 16:22 Καὶ προσλαβόμενος αὐτὸν ὁ Πέτρος ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν αὐτῷ λέγων, Ἵλεώς σοι, κύριε· οὐ μὴ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο. At this Peter took him aside and began to reprove him saying, “Goodness gracious, Lord! This will certainly not happen to you.” to reprove: here, and elsewhere, we have removed RP's iota subscript in άω verb infinitives, in accordance with standard and manuscript usage.
Goodness gracious ← graciously to you.
happen ← be.
Matt 16:23 Ὁ δὲ στραφεὶς εἶπεν τῷ Πέτρῳ, Ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, Σατανᾶ, σκάνδαλόν μου εἶ· ὅτι οὐ φρονεῖς τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. But he turned round and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan. You are a snare to me, because you do not set your mind on the affairs of God, but on the affairs of men.” a snare: or an offence.
Matt 16:24 Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, Εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτόν, καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me”,
Matt 16:25 Ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ' ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ εὑρήσει αὐτήν· for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. life (2x) ← soul.
Matt 16:26 τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ; Ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ; For in what way is a man profited if he gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his life?

Matt 17:4 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ, κύριε, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι· εἰ θέλεις, ποιήσωμεν ὧδε τρεῖς σκηνάς, σοὶ μίαν, καὶ {RP TR: Μωσῇ} [P1904: Μωσεῖ] μίαν, καὶ μίαν Ἠλίᾳ. and Peter reacted and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.

Matt 18:7 Οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων· ἀνάγκη γάρ ἐστιν ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ, δι' οὗ τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται. Woe to the world because of its snares!

Up to seven times?” how many times should I forgive my brother if he sins against me ← how many times will my brother sin against me, and I will forgive him.
Matt 18:22 Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐ λέγω σοι ἕως ἑπτάκις, ἀλλ' ἕως ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά. Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times, seven times over.
Matt 18:23 Διὰ τοῦτο ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὃς ἠθέλησεν συνᾶραι λόγον μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ. This is why the kingdom of the heavens is like a man who was a king, who wished to settle accounts with his servants. this is why ← on account of this.

But as he did not have the means to repay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and everything he had, and for repayment to be made.
Matt 18:26 Πεσὼν οὖν ὁ δοῦλος προσεκύνει αὐτῷ, λέγων, Κύριε, Μακροθύμησον ἐπ' ἐμοί, καὶ πάντα σοι ἀποδώσω. So the servant fell down and prostrated himself before him, and he said, ‘My lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you everything.’ prostrated himself before: or worshipped or paid homage to.
Matt 18:27 Σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ δάνειον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ. At this, that servant's master had compassion on him, and he released him and cancelled his debt. his debt ← the loan to (or for) him.
Matt 18:28 Ἐξελθὼν δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος εὗρεν ἕνα τῶν συνδούλων αὐτοῦ, ὃς ὤφειλεν αὐτῷ ἑκατὸν δηνάρια, καὶ κρατήσας αὐτὸν ἔπνιγεν, λέγων, Ἀπόδος μοι {RP P1904: εἴ} [TR: ὁ] τι ὀφείλεις. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denaries, and when he had seized him, he choked him and said, ‘Repay me what you owe.’ εἴ, if, RP P1904 F1853=18/20 F1859=7/7 vs. ὅ, that (which), TR F1853=2/20 (Scrivener's uy, u being very doubtful) F1859=0/7.

Matt 19:21 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ θέλεις τέλειος εἶναι, ὕπαγε, πώλησόν σου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δὸς πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ· καὶ δεῦρο, ἀκολούθει μοι. Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go and sell your belongings and give the proceeds to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me.”
Matt 19:22 Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ νεανίσκος τὸν λόγον ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος· ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. But when the young man heard those words, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions. those words ← the word.
Matt 19:23 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι δυσκόλως πλούσιος εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you that it is with difficulty that a rich man can enter into the kingdom of the heavens. can ← will, a Hebraism.
Matt 19:24 Πάλιν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρυπήματος ῥαφίδος διελθεῖν, ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Matt 19:25 Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐξεπλήσσοντο σφόδρα, λέγοντες, Τίς ἄρα δύναται σωθῆναι; When his disciples heard this, they were exceedingly amazed, and they said, “Who, then, can be saved?”
Matt 19:26 Ἐμβλέψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τοῦτο ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν, παρὰ δὲ θεῷ πάντα δυνατά {RP-text: - } [RP-marg P1904 TR: ἐστιν]. Then Jesus looked straight at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God everything {RP-text: is} [RP-marg P1904 TR: is] possible.” ἐστι(ν), is: absent in RP-text F1853=11/21 F1859=2/7 vs. present in RP-marg P1904 TR F1853=10/21 F1859=5/7. A disparity with RP-text, R=13:17.
Matt 19:27 Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἰδού, ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι· τί ἄρα ἔσται ἡμῖν; Then Peter replied and said to him, “Look, we have abandoned everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Matt 19:28 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οἱ ἀκολουθήσαντές μοι, ἐν τῇ παλιγγενεσίᾳ ὅταν καθίσῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ, καθίσεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους, κρίνοντες τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the son of man sits on his glorious throne, you too will be seated on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel, glorious throne ← throne of glory, a Hebraic genitive.
Matt 19:29 Καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίας, ἢ ἀδελφούς, ἢ ἀδελφάς, ἢ πατέρα, ἢ μητέρα, ἢ γυναῖκα, ἢ τέκνα, ἢ ἀγρούς, ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου, ἑκατονταπλασίονα λήψεται, καὶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσει. and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name's sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit age-abiding life.

Matt 20:1 Ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ, ὅστις ἐξῆλθεν ἅμα πρωῒ μισθώσασθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ. For the kingdom of the heavens is like a man who is a master of a household who went out at dawn to hire workers for his vineyard,
Matt 20:2 {RP P1904: Καὶ συμφωνήσας} [TR: Συμφωνήσας δὲ] μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν, ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ. and after agreeing with the workers a rate of a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard. καὶ συμφωνήσας, and having agreed, RP P1904 F1853=12/21 F1859=5/8 vs. συμφωνήσας δὲ, having agreed and / but, TR F1853=9/21 F1859=2/8 vs. another reading, F1853=0/21 F1859=1/8.

third hour: 9 a.m.
Matt 20:4 {RP P1904: καὶ ἐκείνοις} [TR: κἀκείνοις] εἶπεν, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν. and he said to those, ‘You too, go to the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ καὶ ἐκείνοις, and ... to those (1), RP P1904 F1853=14/20 F1859=4/7 vs. κἀκείνοις, and ... to those (2), TR F1853=6/20 F1859=2/7 vs. another reading, F1853=0/20 F1859=1/7.

ἐνάτην, ninth (1), RP P1904 F1853=11/20 F1859=3/7 vs. ἐννάτην, ninth (2), TR F1853=9/20 F1859=4/7. Nearly a disparity with RP, R=15:14.
sixth and ninth hour: 12 noon and 3 p.m.
Matt 20:6 Περὶ δὲ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὥραν ἐξελθών, εὗρεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας ἀργούς, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Τί ὧδε ἑστήκατε ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί; And at about the eleventh hour he went out and found some more men standing idle, and he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here the whole day idle?’ the eleventh hour: 5 p.m.

Matt 20:7 Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο. Λέγει αὐτοῖς, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον λήψεσθε. They said to him, ‘Because no-one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too, go to the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
Matt 20:8 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ, Κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας, καὶ ἀπόδος αὐτοῖς τὸν μισθόν, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἕως τῶν πρώτων. Then when evening came, the landlord of the vineyard said to his estate manager, ‘Call the workers and give them their wages, beginning with the last, working towards the first.’ came ← became.

Matt 20:11 Λαβόντες δὲ ἐγόγγυζον κατὰ τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου, And when they had received it, they complained to the proprietor, complained to ← were grumbling against, or perhaps kept complaining to, iterative imperfect, but not necessarily so – see Matt 5:2.
Matt 20:12 λέγοντες ὅτι Οὗτοι οἱ ἔσχατοι μίαν ὥραν ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἴσους ἡμῖν αὐτοὺς ἐποίησας, τοῖς βαστάσασιν τὸ βάρος τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν καύσωνα. saying, ‘These last ones worked for one hour, and you treated them as equal to us who bore the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’
Matt 20:13 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν ἑνὶ αὐτῶν, Ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε· οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι; But he replied and said to one of them, ‘My friend, I am not doing you any wrong. Did you not agree a denary with me? denary: a silver coin.
Matt 20:14 Ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὕπαγε· θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί. Take what is yours and go. But I wish to give to this last one the same as you. the same as ← as also.
Matt 20:15 Ἢ οὐκ ἔξεστίν μοι ποιῆσαι ὃ θέλω ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς; {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: Εἰ} [E1624: Ἢ] ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρός ἐστιν, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀγαθός εἰμι; Or is it not permitted for me to do what I want with my own money? {RP P1904 S1550 S1894: Are you jealous} [E1624: Or are you jealous] because I am good?’ εἰ, if, RP P1904 S1550 S1894 F1853=15/20 F1859=6/7 vs. ἢ, or, E1624 F1853=5/20 F1859=1/7.
are you jealous ← is your eye evil. The word εἰ represents the Hebrew ‫אִם‬, which can be an interrogative particle.
Matt 20:16 Οὕτως ἔσονται οἱ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι, καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι· πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσιν κλητοί, ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί. In this way the last will be first and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Matt 20:17 Καὶ ἀναβαίνων ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα παρέλαβεν τοὺς δώδεκα μαθητὰς κατ' ἰδίαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Then as Jesus went up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside privately on the way, and he said to them,
Matt 20:18 Ἰδού, ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ γραμματεῦσιν· καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτῳ, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of man will be delivered to the senior priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
Matt 20:19 καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς τὸ ἐμπαῖξαι καὶ μαστιγῶσαι καὶ σταυρῶσαι· καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστήσεται. and they will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify him, and on the third day he will rise again.” crucify ← impale in the sense of fixing on a stake (not piercing with a stake), but the word is used of Roman crucifixion, the Greeks taking the verb from the vertical stake, the Romans from the cross(crux)-bar. Compare the English telegraph pole, where the word ignores the cross-bars. However, crux is also used of a carriage pole [LS2], so impale is a possibility.
rise again: rise rather than be raised here, the verb ἀναστήσεται being an intransitive ↴
Matt 20:20 Τότε προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς, προσκυνοῦσα καὶ αἰτοῦσά τι παρ' αὐτοῦ. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshipping him and asking him for a certain thing. ↳ form (and more specifically associated with resurrection than ἐγείρω). In compound verbs, ἀνά can mean again [LS] E.3.
worshipping him and asking him: or to worship him and ask him, where the present participles replace classical future participles of purpose. Similarly in John 4:23, John 6:6, John 20:18, Acts 15:27. Perhaps Acts 6:11.
Matt 20:21 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Τί θέλεις; Λέγει αὐτῷ, Εἰπὲ ἵνα καθίσωσιν οὗτοι οἱ δύο υἱοί μου, εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, καὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων {RP P1904: σου} [TR: - ], ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου. So he said to her, “What is it that you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine will sit one on your right hand side and one on {RP P1904: your} [TR: your] left hand side in your kingdom.” σου, your: present in RP P1904 F1853=18/20 F1859=5/7 vs. absent in TR F1853=2/20 (Scrivener's ux, u being very doubtful) F1859=2/7.
Matt 20:22 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, Οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε. Δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ μέλλω πίνειν, {RP P1904: ἢ} [TR: καὶ] τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι; Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Δυνάμεθα. But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup which I am about to drink from {RP P1904: or} [TR: and] be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” They said to him, “We can.” ἢ, or, RP P1904 F1853=15/20 F1859=5/7 vs. καὶ, and, TR F1853=5/20 F1859=2/7. AV differs textually.
Matt 20:23 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Τὸ μὲν ποτήριόν μου πίεσθε, καὶ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθήσεσθε· τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων μου, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸν δοῦναι, ἀλλ' οἷς ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου. Then he said to them, “You can drink from my cup and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized, but to sit on my right hand side and on my left hand side is not for me to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my father.” can ← will, a Hebraism, but in v.22, the word for can is explicit.
for me ← mine.
Matt 20:24 Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἠγανάκτησαν περὶ τῶν δύο ἀδελφῶν. And when the ten heard it, they were annoyed about the two brothers.
Matt 20:25 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς εἶπεν, Οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν. But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the high-ranking people exercise authority over them,
Matt 20:26 Οὐχ οὕτως {RP TR: δὲ} [P1904: - ] ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν· ἀλλ' ὃς ἐὰν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν μέγας γενέσθαι {RP P1904: ἔσται} [TR: ἔστω] ὑμῶν διάκονος· {RP TR: but} [P1904: - ] it will not be like this among you; rather, whoever among you wishes to be great {RP P1904: will} [TR: must] be your servant. δὲ, but: present in RP TR F1853=15/20 F1859=5/8 vs. absent in P1904 F1853=5/20 F1859=3/8.

A weak disparity with RP, R=14:15.
Matt 20:28 ὥσπερ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι, ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι, καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν. just as the son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister and give his life as a ransom for many.” life ← soul.

And they came across two blind men sitting at the side of the road, who having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out and said, “Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.” David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
they came across ← behold.
Matt 20:31 Ὁ δὲ ὄχλος ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σιωπήσωσιν. Οἱ δὲ μεῖζον ἔκραζον, λέγοντες, Ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, κύριε, υἱὸς {RP P1904: Δαυίδ} [TR: Δαβίδ]. But the crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, and they said, “Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.” David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Matt 20:32 Καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐφώνησεν αὐτούς, καὶ εἶπεν, Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν; And Jesus stood still and called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Matt 20:33 Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Κύριε, ἵνα ἀνοιχθῶσιν ἡμῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί. They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened.”
Matt 20:34 Σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἥψατο τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ εὐθέως ἀνέβλεψαν αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί, καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ. And Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes recovered their sight, and they followed him.
Matt 21:1 Καὶ ὅτε ἤγγισαν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς {RP-text P1904: Βηθσφαγὴ} [RP-marg TR: Βηθφαγῆ] πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν, τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπέστειλεν δύο μαθητάς, Then when they approached Jerusalem and had gone to {RP-text P1904: Bethsphagé} [RP-marg TR: Bethphagé], at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, Βηθσφαγῆ(ν), Bethsphagé, RP-text P1904 F1853=16/21 F1859=7/8 vs. Βηθφαγῆ(ν), Bethphagé, RP-marg TR F1853=5/21 F1859=0/8 vs. another reading, F1853=0/21 F1859=1/8.

he: i.e. the person talking to the two disciples, rather than the Lord. Compare [JWB-RR] pp.56-58.
despatch: the verb ἀποστέλλω is send, or send off, and ↴
Matt 21:4 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Now all of this took place in order that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, where he says, ↳ also, from [LS], despatch, a sense perhaps reinforced by Hebrew usage of ‫שָׁלַח‬, shalach.

Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the chairs of those selling doves, drove ← cast.

But Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will be able to perform not only the feat of the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and deposited into the sea’, it will take place,

God: we retain a capital G, because although it would be a god of the dead, the reference is also to the God of the living.
Matt 22:33 Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ. And when the crowds heard it, they were astounded at his teaching.
Matt 22:34 Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι, ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσεν τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους, συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό. But the Pharisees, having heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered right there together, silenced ← muzzled.
Matt 22:35 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν νομικός, πειράζων αὐτόν, καὶ λέγων, and one of them, a scholar in the law, asked him a question, testing him, and he said,
Matt 22:36 Διδάσκαλε, ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ; “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the law?” the greatest ← great, positive degree for superlative; Hebraistic – Hebrew only uses the article to denote the superlative, but in the Greek it is necessarily absent, as it is the complement of the verb to be, understood.
Matt 22:37 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς {RP P1904: ἔφη} [TR: εἶπεν] αὐτῷ, Ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου, ἐν ὅλῃ {RP: - } [P1904 TR: τῇ] καρδίᾳ σου, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ {RP: - } [P1904 TR: τῇ] ψυχῇ σου, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου. And Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ἔφη, he said (1), RP P1904 F1853=20/20 F1859=6/7 vs. εἶπεν, he said (2), TR F1853=0/20 F1859=1/7.

Deut 6:5.
Matt 22:38 Αὕτη ἐστὶν πρώτη καὶ μεγάλη ἐντολή. This is the first and greatest commandment. greatest ← great. Positive degree for superlative.

A disparity with RP-text, R=11:15. This is only a matter of choice of diacritics by scribes and editors.
Lev 19:18.
Matt 22:40 Ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται κρέμανται. In these two commandments hang the whole of the law and the prophets.”
Matt 22:41 Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων, ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Then when the Pharisees had gathered together, Jesus questioned them,
Matt 22:42 λέγων, Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ; Τίνος υἱός ἐστιν; Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Τοῦ {RP P1904: Δαυίδ} [TR: Δαβίδ]. and he said, “What do you think about Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David's.” David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Christ ← the Christ.
Matt 22:43 Λέγει αὐτοῖς, Πῶς οὖν {RP P1904: Δαυὶδ} [TR: Δαβὶδ] ἐν πνεύματι κύριον αὐτὸν καλεῖ, λέγων, He said to them, “How come then David calls him Lord in the spirit, saying, David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Matt 22:44 Εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου, Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

«Sit on my right hand side

Until I make your enemies your footstool» ’?

 Ps 110:1.
your footstool ← a footstool of your feet.
Matt 22:45 Εἰ οὖν {RP P1904: Δαυὶδ} [TR: Δαβὶδ] καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον, πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν; If, then, David calls him Lord, how is it that he is his son?” David: on Δαυίδ vs. Δαβίδ, see Matt 1:1.
Matt 22:46 Καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο αὐτῷ ἀποκριθῆναι λόγον· οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπ' ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι. And no-one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare to question him any longer from that day.
Matt 23:1 Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν τοῖς ὄχλοις καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
Matt 23:2 λέγων, Ἐπὶ τῆς Μωσέως καθέδρας ἐκάθισαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· and he said, “The scribes and Pharisees have sat down on Moses' seat,
Matt 23:3 πάντα οὖν ὅσα {RP P1904: ἐὰν} [TR: ἂν] εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν τηρεῖν, τηρεῖτε καὶ ποιεῖτε· κατὰ δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν μὴ ποιεῖτε, λέγουσιν γὰρ καὶ οὐ ποιοῦσιν. so whatever they tell you to keep, you are keeping to and doing, but do not do according to their works, for they say things, but they do not do them. ἐὰν, (what)ever (1), RP P1904 F1853=16/21 F1859=7/8 vs. ἂν, (what)ever (2), TR F1853=5/21 F1859=1/8.

you are keeping to and doing: AV differs, translating these ↴
Matt 23:4 Δεσμεύουσιν γὰρ φορτία βαρέα καὶ δυσβάστακτα, καὶ ἐπιτιθέασιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων, τῷ δὲ δακτύλῳ αὐτῶν οὐ θέλουσιν κινῆσαι αὐτά. For they bind heavy burdens and things hard to bear, and they put them on the shoulders of men, but they are not willing to move them with their finger. ↳ verbs as imperatives, which is grammatically equally possible, but they fit the context (v.4) better as indicatives. It is clear that both their works and their sayings are wrong.
Matt 23:5 Πάντα δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· πλατύνουσιν {RP TR: δὲ} [P1904: γὰρ] τὰ φυλακτήρια αὐτῶν, καὶ μεγαλύνουσιν τὰ κράσπεδα τῶν ἱματίων αὐτῶν· But they do all their works to be seen by men, {RP TR: and} [P1904: for] they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the fringes of their coats, δὲ, and, RP TR F1853=19/20 F1859=6/8 vs. γὰρ, for, P1904 F1853=1/20 (Scrivener's y) F1859=2/8. We correct here Scrivener's assumed erroneous interchange of δὲ and γὰρ. A disparity with F1853; F1859 is correct.
fringes: see Num 15:38; literally hems.

Manuscripts x and y have the reading more than once, and inconsistently.
Matt 23:7 καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς, καὶ καλεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, Ῥαββί, ῥαββί· and the greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, rabbi.’

you have one ← one is your.
Matt 23:9 Καὶ πατέρα μὴ καλέσητε ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν, ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. And do not call anyone your ‘father’ on earth, for you have one father, who is in the heavens.
Matt 23:10 Μηδὲ κληθῆτε καθηγηταί· εἷς γὰρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν ὁ καθηγητής, ὁ χριστός. And do not be called ‘guides’. For you have one guide: Christ.
Matt 23:11 Ὁ δὲ μείζων ὑμῶν ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος. And the greatest among you will be your servant. greatest ← greater, Greek comparative for superlative.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you go round sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when it has taken place, you make him a son of Gehenna twofold more than yourselves. has taken place ← takes place.
Gehenna: see Matt 5:22.
Matt 23:16 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοί, οἱ λέγοντες, Ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ ναῷ, οὐδέν ἐστιν· ὃς δ' ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ χρυσῷ τοῦ ναοῦ, ὀφείλει. Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the sanctuary is a debtor.’
Matt 23:17 Μωροὶ καὶ τυφλοί· τίς γὰρ μείζων ἐστίν, ὁ χρυσός, ἢ ὁ ναὸς ὁ ἁγιάζων τὸν χρυσόν; Fools and blind men, for which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary which sanctifies the gold?
Matt 23:18 Καί, Ὃς {RP TR: ἐὰν} [P1904: ἂν] ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, οὐδέν ἐστιν· ὃς δ' ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ δώρῳ τῷ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, ὀφείλει.

Matt 23:20 Ὁ οὖν ὀμόσας ἐν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ ὀμνύει ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ· So he who swears by the altar swears by it and everything on it, swears ← swore, but the aorist participle can be contemporaneous with the main verb, including classically (“coincident use”), and it may represent the perfective aspect rather than the past tense here, or even be equivalent to the present participle. The second swears is present indicative. Compare Acts 13:46, Gal 2:1, 1 Tim 3:13.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you pay the tithe of mint and dill and cumin but have omitted the weightier aspects of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. {RP TR: You} [P1904: And you] should have done these things, while not omitting the former things. δὲ, and: absent in RP TRF1853=16/20 F1859=7/8 vs. present in P1904 F1853=4/20 (Scrivener's efgx) F1859=1/8.

AV differs textually.
Matt 23:26 Φαρισαῖε τυφλέ, καθάρισον πρῶτον τὸ ἐντὸς τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τῆς παροψίδος, ἵνα γένηται καὶ τὸ ἐκτὸς αὐτῶν καθαρόν. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of them may also become clean.
Matt 23:27 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι, ὑποκριταί, ὅτι παρομοιάζετε τάφοις κεκονιαμένοις, οἵτινες ἔξωθεν μὲν φαίνονται ὡραῖοι, ἔσωθεν δὲ γέμουσιν ὀστέων νεκρῶν καὶ πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας.

Matt 23:31 Ὥστε μαρτυρεῖτε ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι υἱοί ἐστε τῶν φονευσάντων τοὺς προφήτας· So you witness to yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets.
Matt 23:32 καὶ ὑμεῖς πληρώσατε τὸ μέτρον τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν. You too, fill up the measure of your fathers.

Matt 23:35 ὅπως ἔλθῃ ἐφ' ὑμᾶς πᾶν αἷμα δίκαιον ἐκχυνόμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος Ἄβελ τοῦ δικαίου, ἕως τοῦ αἵματος Ζαχαρίου υἱοῦ Βαραχίου, ὃν ἐφονεύσατε μεταξὺ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου. so that all righteous blood shed on earth should come upon you from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar. so that: the classical meaning is in order that. We do not entirely exclude the possibility of a purpose clause here.
Berechiah ← Barachias, but we conform it to Zech 1:1.
Matt 23:36 Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, {RP P1904: ὅτι} [TR: - ] ἥξει {RP-text: πάντα ταῦτα} [RP-marg P1904 TR: ταῦτα πάντα] ἐπὶ τὴν γενεὰν ταύτην.

Matt 26:40 Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς, καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετ' ἐμοῦ; And he went to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “So did you not have strength to be on the watch for one hour with me?
Matt 26:41 Γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν· τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής. Be watchful and pray that you do not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Matt 26:42 Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο, λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον παρελθεῖν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου. Again, he went a second time and prayed, and he said, “My father, if this cup cannot pass from me, unless I drink it, your will be done.”
Matt 26:43 Καὶ ἐλθὼν εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς πάλιν καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι. Then he came back and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were weighed down.
Matt 26:44 Καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς ἀπελθὼν πάλιν προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου, τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπών. And he left them and went away again and prayed for a third time, saying the same thing. thing ← word, speech, but probably under Hebrew influence (‫דָּבָר‬, word, thing).
Matt 26:45 Τότε ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε· ἰδού, ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν. Then he went to his disciples and said to them, “Sleep from now on and have a rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near when the son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
Matt 26:46 Ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν. Ἰδού, ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με. Get up and let's go. Look, he who will betray me has made his way here.” made his way here ← approached.
Matt 26:47 Καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἰδού, Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν, καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ. And while he was still speaking, along came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him there was a large crowd with swords and sticks, coming from the senior priests and elders of the people. along came ← behold. The word also occurs in the two previous verses.
sticks: or clubs; if improvised weapons, sticks is more appropriate.
Matt 26:48 Ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον, λέγων, Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω, αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν. Now he who would betray him had given them a sign and had said, “He whom I kiss is the one. Lay hold of him.”
Matt 26:49 Καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, Χαῖρε, ῥαββί· καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν. And immediately he went to Jesus and said, “Hello, master”, and he kissed him profusely. master ← rabbi.
Matt 26:50 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἑταῖρε, ἐφ' ᾧ πάρει; Τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν. But Jesus said to him, “My friend, what are you here for?” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.
Matt 26:51 Καὶ ἰδού, εἷς τῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον. And what happened next was that one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and unsheathed his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and took off his ear. what happened next was that ← behold.
Matt 26:52 Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀπόστρεψόν σου τὴν μάχαιραν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς· πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ {RP P1904: ἀποθανοῦνται} [TR: ἀπολοῦνται]. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its holder. For all who take up the sword will {RP P1904: die} [TR: perish] by the sword. ἀποθανοῦνται, die, RP P1904 F1853=16/20 F1859=6/7 vs. ἀπολοῦνται, perish, TR F1853=4/20 (Scrivener's egpu, u being very doubtful) F1859=1/7.
holder ← place.
Matt 26:53 Ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι ἄρτι παρακαλέσαι τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι πλείους ἢ δώδεκα λεγεῶνας ἀγγέλων; Or do you think that I could not now call on my father to supply me with more than twelve legions of angels? could not ← can not.
to supply ← and he will supply.
Matt 26:54 Πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι; But how then are the scriptures to be fulfilled if that is the way it must come about?” if ← that.
Matt 26:55 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις, Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθετε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; Καθ' ἡμέραν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με. At that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks, to lay hold of me? I used to sit with you every day, teaching in the temple, but you did not seize me.” have you come out...: We, with RP TBS-TR punctuate as a question; P1904 punctuates as a statement.
Matt 26:56 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον. But all this took place so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Matt 26:57 Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν. But those who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered.
Matt 26:58 Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν, ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος. However, Peter followed him from a distance, as far as the hall of the high priest, and he went in and sat with the attendants to see how this would end. followed ← was following.
how this would end ← the end.
Matt 26:59 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως {RP P1904: θανατώσωσιν αὐτόν} [TR: αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν]. Now the senior priests and elders and the whole of the Sanhedrin council were looking for a false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death. θανατώσωσιν αὐτόν, they might put to death + him, RP P1904 F1853=18/21 F1859=4/8 vs. αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν, him + they might put to death, TR F1853=2/21 (Scrivener's ay) F1859=0/8 vs. other readings, F1853=1/21 (Scrivener's u) F1859=4/8.
Matt 26:60 Καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· καὶ πολλῶν ψευδομαρτύρων προσελθόντων, οὐχ εὗρον. But they did not find any. Even with many false witnesses coming forward, they did not find any.
Matt 26:61 Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο ψευδομάρτυρες εἶπον, Οὗτος ἔφη, Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτόν. But eventually two false witnesses came forward ¶ and said, “He said, ‘I can demolish the sanctuary of God and build it within three days.’ ” ¶ Verse division: in P1904 and AV numbering, Matt 26:61 begins here.
he ← this (man).
Matt 26:62 Καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ; Τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν; And the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do you not give any answer? What is it that these men testify against you?”
Matt 26:63 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος, ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ. But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest reacted and said to him, “I adjure you by the living God to tell us if you are the Christ, the son of God.”
Matt 26:64 Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σὺ εἶπας. Πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ' ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. Jesus said to him, “It is as you have stated. But I say to you, in the future you will see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Ps 110:1, Dan 7:13.
in the future ← from now.
heaven: or the sky.
Matt 26:65 Τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, λέγων ὅτι Ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; Ἴδε, νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν αὐτοῦ. Then the high priest tore his coat apart and said, “He has blasphemed. Why do we still need witnesses? Look, you have now heard his blasphemy.
Matt 26:66 Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; Οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον, Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν. What do you think?” They answered and said, “He is liable to the death penalty.”
Matt 26:67 Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν· οἱ δὲ ἐρράπισαν, Then they spat in his face and beat him, and some struck him on the face,
Matt 26:68 λέγοντες, Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε; and they said, “Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is it that struck you?”
Matt 26:69 Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἔξω ἐκάθητο ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ· καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ μία παιδίσκη, λέγουσα, Καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Γαλιλαίου. But Peter was sitting outside in the hall, and a certain maidservant came up to him and said, “You too were with Jesus of Galilee.” a certain ← one.
Matt 26:70 Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν {RP P1904: αὐτῶν} [TR: - ] πάντων, λέγων, Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις. But he denied it in the presence of all {RP P1904: of them} [TR: of them] and said, “I don't know what you are saying.” αὐτῶν, of them: present in RP P1904 F1853=15/21 F1859=5/7 vs. absent in TR F1853=6/21 F1859=2/7.
Matt 26:71 Ἐξελθόντα δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη, καὶ λέγει {RP P1904: αὐτοῖς} [TR: τοῖς] {RP TR: ἐκεῖ, Καὶ} [P1904: · Ἐκεῖ καὶ] οὗτος ἦν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου. And when he had gone out to the gate, another maidservant saw him and said {RP TR: to those who were there, “This man was also} [P1904: to them, “This man was also there] with Jesus the Nazarene.” αὐτοῖς, to them (but we translate to those), RP P1904 F1853=16/20 F1859=6/7 vs. τοῖς, to those, TR F1853=4/20 (Scrivener's c*suy) F1859=1/7.
P1904 and some manuscripts put ἐκεῖ in the direct speech. We consider this as a less likely possibility. The P1904 reading could be repunctuated to agree with RP TR, and it is not strictly a textual variant on this point.
gate ← gateway, gate-house.
Matt 26:72 Καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μεθ' ὅρκου ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον. And again he denied it under an oath and said, “I do not know the man.” under ← with.
Matt 26:73 Μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ, Ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ· καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλόν σε ποιεῖ. And after a short while, those who were standing around came forward and said to Peter, “Truly, you too are one of them. For even your dialect gives you away.” gives you away ← makes you evident.
Matt 26:74 Τότε ἤρξατο {RP P1904: καταθεματίζειν} [TR: καταναθεματίζειν] καὶ ὀμνύειν ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον. Καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν. Then he began to curse and swear, saying, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the cock crowed. καταθεματίζειν, to curse (1), RP P1904 F1853=18/19 F1859=7/8 vs. καταναθεματίζειν, to curse (2), TR F1853=1/19 (Scrivener's u, so very doubtful) F1859=1/8.
Matt 26:75 Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος {RP TR: τοῦ} [P1904: - ] Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος αὐτῷ ὅτι Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς. And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who had said to him: “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. τοῦ, the (Jesus): present in RP TR F1853=9/19 F1859=4/7 vs. absent in P1904 F1853=10/19 F1859=3/7. Nearly a disparity with RP, R=14:14.
words ← word.
who had said: our italicization here indicates the supplying of a finite verb, not a tense change, aorist to (plu-)perfect, as might be suspected. See the Introduction.
Matt 27:1 Πρωΐας δὲ γενομένης, συμβούλιον ἔλαβον πάντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὥστε θανατῶσαι αὐτόν· When it was early morning, all the senior priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to have him put to death.
Matt 27:2 καὶ δήσαντες αὐτὸν ἀπήγαγον καὶ παρέδωκαν αὐτὸν Ποντίῳ Πιλάτῳ τῷ ἡγεμόνι. And they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Matt 27:3 Τότε ἰδὼν Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ὅτι κατεκρίθη, μεταμεληθεὶς ἀπέστρεψεν τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, Then Judas, who betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, and he felt regret, and he returned the thirty pieces of silver to the senior priests and the elders,
Matt 27:4 λέγων, Ἥμαρτον παραδοὺς αἷμα ἀθῷον. Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, Τί πρὸς ἡμᾶς; Σὺ ὄψει. and he said, “I have sinned, betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.” betraying ← having betrayed. See Matt 23:20.
see ← will see.
Matt 27:5 Καὶ ῥίψας τὰ ἀργύρια ἐν τῷ ναῷ, ἀνεχώρησεν· καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπήγξατο. Then he threw the silver coins into the sanctuary, and he departed and went away and hanged himself. See Acts 1:18 for a suggested scenario fitting that verse and this.
Matt 27:6 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς λαβόντες τὰ ἀργύρια εἶπον, Οὐκ ἔξεστιν βαλεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν κορβανᾶν, ἐπεὶ τιμὴ αἵματός ἐστιν. But the senior priests took the silver coins and said, “It is not permitted to put them in the temple treasury, because they are the price of blood.”
Matt 27:7 Συμβούλιον δὲ λαβόντες ἠγόρασαν ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ κεραμέως, εἰς ταφὴν τοῖς ξένοις. So they took counsel and bought the potter's field with them, as a cemetery for foreigners,
Matt 27:8 Διὸ ἐκλήθη ὁ ἀγρὸς ἐκεῖνος Ἀγρὸς Αἵματος, ἕως τῆς σήμερον. which is why that field is called “The Field of Blood” up to this day. which is why ← on account of which.
is called ← was called.
Matt 27:9 Τότε ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἰερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου, λέγοντος, Καὶ ἔλαβον τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια, τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ {RP P1904c TR: τετιμημένου} [P1904u: τετιμημημένου], ὃν ἐτιμήσαντο ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, where he says, “And they took thirty silver coins, the price of him who was valued – him from the sons of Israel whom they valued. Jer 32:25 (You have said to my Lord the Lord, “Buy yourself the field for silver”).
Jer 32:44 (they will buy fields for silver).
Zech 11:12-13 (So they weighed for my price thirty silver coins. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord).
[CB] proposes that the words were spoken, but not written, by Jeremiah.
Matt 27:10 καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ κεραμέως, καθὰ συνέταξέν μοι κύριος. And they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.” potter's: Zech 11:13 uses the word ‫יוֹצֵר‬, yotser, = fashioner, applicable to a silversmith or potter.
Matt 27:11 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἡγεμόνος· καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ ἡγεμών, λέγων, Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη αὐτῷ, Σὺ λέγεις. And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned him and asked, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” asked ← saying.
Matt 27:12 Καὶ ἐν τῷ κατηγορεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο. And while he was being accused by the senior priests and elders, he did not answer anything.
Matt 27:13 Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλάτος, Οὐκ ἀκούεις πόσα σοῦ καταμαρτυροῦσιν; Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?”
Matt 27:14 Καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ πρὸς οὐδὲ ἓν ῥῆμα, ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν ἡγεμόνα λίαν. But he did not even answer him as much as one word, so that the governor was very surprised.
Matt 27:15 Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν εἰώθει ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀπολύειν ἕνα τῷ ὄχλῳ δέσμιον, ὃν ἤθελον. Now at each festival the governor had a custom of releasing one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wished.
Matt 27:16 Εἶχον δὲ τότε δέσμιον ἐπίσημον, λεγόμενον Βαραββᾶν. And they had at that time a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
Matt 27:17 Συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλάτος, Τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; Βαραββᾶν, ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον χριστόν; So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas or Jesus, who is called Christ?”
Matt 27:18 ᾜδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν. For he knew that it was through envy that they had delivered him up.
Matt 27:19 Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος, ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, λέγουσα, Μηδέν σοι καὶ τῷ δικαίῳ ἐκείνῳ· πολλὰ γὰρ ἔπαθον σήμερον κατ' ὄναρ δι' αὐτόν. And while he was sitting on the podium, his wife sent word to him, as follows: “Have nothing to do with that just man. For I have suffered a lot today in a dream on account of him.” on the podium, or at the court.
as follows ← saying.
have nothing to do with ← (let there be) nothing to you and.
Matt 27:20 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεισαν τοὺς ὄχλους ἵνα αἰτήσωνται τὸν Βαραββᾶν, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν ἀπολέσωσιν. But the senior priests and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, whereas they should have Jesus put to death.
Matt 27:21 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἡγεμὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τίνα θέλετε ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, Βαραββᾶν. And the governor responded and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
Matt 27:22 Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλάτος, Τί οὖν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον χριστόν; Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες, Σταυρωθήτω. Pilate said to them, “What should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Have him crucified.” have him crucified ← let him be crucified.
Matt 27:23 Ὁ δὲ ἡγεμὼν ἔφη, Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν; Οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραζον, λέγοντες, Σταυρωθήτω. However, the governor said, “But what wrong has he done?” But they shouted all the more and said, “Have him crucified.” have him crucified ← let him be crucified.
Matt 27:24 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πιλάτος ὅτι οὐδὲν ὠφελεῖ, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον θόρυβος γίνεται, λαβὼν ὕδωρ, ἀπενίψατο τὰς χεῖρας ἀπέναντι τοῦ ὄχλου, λέγων, Ἀθῷός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ δικαίου τούτου· ὑμεῖς ὄψεσθε. And when Pilate saw that it was to no avail, but rather a tumult was arising, he took some water and washed his hands facing the crowd, and he said, “I am innocent of the blood of this just man. You see to it.” see ← will see, future for imperative.
Matt 27:25 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπεν, Τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν. And all the people answered and said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children.”
Matt 27:26 Τότε ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν· τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας παρέδωκεν ἵνα σταυρωθῇ. Then he released Barabbas to them, but he had Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. had Jesus flogged ← flogged Jesus. Compare Matt 2:16, and see also Num 19:3, Judg 18:27.
Matt 27:27 Τότε οἱ στρατιῶται τοῦ ἡγεμόνος, παραλαβόντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον, συνήγαγον ἐπ' αὐτὸν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν· Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus with them to the governor's residence, and they gathered the whole cohort against him, governor's residence ← praetorium.
cohort: 200 (Roman maniple), or 600 (Roman cohort) men.
Matt 27:28 καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτόν, περιέθηκαν αὐτῷ χλαμύδα κοκκίνην. and they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak on him,
Matt 27:29 Καὶ πλέξαντες στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν, ἐπέθηκαν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ κάλαμον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ· καὶ γονυπετήσαντες ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ἐνέπαιζον αὐτῷ, λέγοντες, Χαῖρε, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· and they plaited a crown from thorns and put it on his head, and they put a reed in his right hand, and they knelt before him, and they kept mocking him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews.” kept mocking ← were mocking, iterative imperfect.
Matt 27:30 καὶ ἐμπτύσαντες εἰς αὐτόν, ἔλαβον τὸν κάλαμον, καὶ ἔτυπτον εἰς τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. And they spat at him, and they took the reed, and they kept striking his head. kept striking: iterative imperfect.
Matt 27:31 Καὶ ὅτε ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῷ, ἐξέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὴν χλαμύδα, καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σταυρῶσαι. And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him and put his clothes on him, and they led him away to crucify him.
Matt 27:32 Ἐξερχόμενοι δὲ εὗρον ἄνθρωπον Κυρηναῖον, ὀνόματι Σίμωνα· τοῦτον ἠγγάρευσαν ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ. Then as they were going out, they came across a Cyrenian man by name of Simon, and they pressed him into carrying his cross. him ← this (man).
into carrying ← that he should carry.
Matt 27:33 Καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τόπον λεγόμενον Γολγοθᾶ, {RP P1904: ὅ} [TR: ὅς] ἐστιν λεγόμενος Κρανίου Τόπος, And they went to a place called Golgotha, which means “The Place of the Skull”, ὅ, which (neuter), RP P1904 F1853=15/21 F1859=6/7 vs. ὅς, which (masculine), TR F1853=6/21 F1859=1/7.
Matt 27:34 ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ πιεῖν ὄξος μετὰ χολῆς μεμιγμένον· καὶ γευσάμενος οὐκ ἤθελεν πιεῖν. where they gave him vinegar mixed with gall to drink. But when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it.
