Matthew 23:15

Context

23:15 “Woe to you, experts in the law 1  and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You cross land and sea to make one convert, 2  and when you get one, 3  you make him twice as much a child of hell 4  as yourselves!

1 tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

2 tn Or “one proselyte.”

3 tn Grk “when he becomes [one].”

4 tn Grk “a son of Gehenna.” Expressions constructed with υἱός (Juios) followed by a genitive of class or kind denote a person belonging to the class or kind specified by the following genitive (L&N 9.4). Thus the phrase here means “a person who belongs to hell.”

sn See the note on the word hell in 5:22.
