Matthew 18:8

Context
18:8 If 1  your hand or your foot causes you to sin, 2  cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have 3  two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.

Matthew 21:21

Context
21:21 Jesus 4  answered them, “I tell you the truth, 5  if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

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

2 sn In Greek there is a wordplay that is difficult to reproduce in English here. The verb translated “causes…to sin” (σκανδαλίζω, skandalizw) comes from the same root as the word translated “stumbling blocks” (σκάνδαλον, skandalon) in the previous verse.

3 tn Grk “than having.”

4 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

5 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
