Matthew 10:16

Context
Persecution of Disciples

10:16 “I 1  am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, 2  so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Matthew 25:8

Context
25:8 The 3  foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’

1 tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

2 sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism; see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30.

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