Discovery BoxMatthew 10:41 
Context10:41 Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. Whoever 1 receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.
Matthew 13:17
Context13:17 For I tell you the truth, 2 many prophets and righteous people longed to see 3 what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
Matthew 23:34
Context23:34 “For this reason I 4 am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, 5 some of whom you will kill and crucify, 6 and some you will flog 7 in your synagogues 8 and pursue from town to town,
1 tn Grk “And whoever.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “truly (ἀμήν, amhn) I say to you.”
3 sn This is what past prophets and righteous people had wanted very much to see, yet the fulfillment had come to the disciples. This remark is like 1 Pet 1:10-12 or Heb 1:1-2.
4 tn Grk “behold I am sending.” 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).
5 tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
6 sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.
7 tn BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “of flogging as a punishment decreed by the synagogue (Dt 25:2f; s. the Mishna Tractate Sanhedrin-Makkoth, edited w. notes by SKrauss ’33) w. acc. of pers. Mt 10:17; 23:34.”
