Matthew 12:45

Matthew 17:20
Context17:20 He told them, “It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, 5 if you have faith the size of 6 a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing 7 will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 19:12
Context19:12 For there are some eunuchs who were that way from birth, 8 and some who were made eunuchs 9 by others, 10 and some who became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.”
1 tn Grk “behold, an angel.” 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 tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:20.
3 sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1. Herod the Great was particularly ruthless regarding the succession to his throne.
4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the concluding point of the story.
5 tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.
6 tn Grk “faith as,” “faith like.”
7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
8 tn Grk “from the womb of the mother” (an idiom).
9 tn The verb εὐνουχίζω occurs twice in this verse, translated the first time as “made eunuchs” and the second time as “became eunuchs.” The term literally refers to castration. The second occurrence of the word in this verse is most likely figurative, though, referring to those who willingly maintain a life of celibacy for the furtherance of the kingdom (see W. D. Davies and D. C. Allison, Matthew [ICC], 3:23).
10 tn Grk “people.”
