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

² tc ‡ Most mss (C L W Θ 0250 Ë^1,13 Ï lat sy mae bo) read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) here, but the earliest witnesses, א and B (along with 33 and a few others), lack it. The addition may have been a motivated reading to clarify whose disciples were in view. NA²⁷ includes the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁵ tn Grk “let him be to you as.”

⁶ tn Or “a pagan.”

⁷ sn To treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector means not to associate with such a person. See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.
