Matthew 5:26

Context
5:26 I tell you the truth, 1  you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny! 2 

Matthew 26:33

Context
26:33 Peter 3  said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”

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

2 tn Here the English word “penny” is used as opposed to the parallel in Luke 12:59 where “cent” appears since the Greek word there is different and refers to a different but similar coin.

sn The penny here was a quadrans, a Roman copper coin worth 1/64 of a denarius (L&N 6.78). The parallel passage in Luke 12:59 mentions the lepton, equal to one-half of a quadrans and thus the smallest coin available.

3 tn Grk “answering, Peter said to him.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
