Matthew 26:51

Context
26:51 But 1  one of those with Jesus grabbed 2  his sword, drew it out, and struck the high priest’s slave, 3  cutting off his ear.

1 tn Grk “And behold one.” 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 Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used.

3 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
