Matthew 15:32

The Feeding of the Four Thousand

15:32 Then Jesus called the ¹  disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way.”

Matthew 17:20

17:20 He told them, “It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, ²  if you have faith the size of ³  a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing ⁴  will be impossible for you.”

¹ tc ‡ Although the external evidence is not great (א W Θ 700 pc), the internal evidence for the omission of αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after “disciples” is fairly strong. The pronoun may have been added by way of clarification. NA²⁷, however, includes the pronoun, on the basis of the much stronger external evidence.

² tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

³ tn Grk “faith as,” “faith like.”

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
