Matthew 12:6

12:6 I ¹  tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

Matthew 12:42

12:42 The queen of the South ²  will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon – and now, ³  something greater than Solomon is here!

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² sn On the queen of the South see 1 Kgs 10:1-3 and 2 Chr 9:1-12, as well as Josephus, Ant. 8.6.5-6 (8.165-175). The South most likely refers to modern southwest Arabia, possibly the eastern part of modern Yemen, although there is an ancient tradition reflected in Josephus which identifies this geo-political entity as Ethiopia.

³ tn Grk “behold.”
