Discovery BoxMatthew 5:45 
Context5:45 so that you may be like 1 your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Matthew 13:17
Context13:17 For I tell you the truth, 2 many prophets and righteous people longed to see 3 what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
1 tn Grk “be sons of your Father in heaven.” Here, however, the focus is not on attaining a relationship (becoming a child of God) but rather on being the kind of person who shares the characteristics of God himself (a frequent meaning of the Semitic idiom “son of”). See L&N 58.26.
2 tn Grk “truly (ἀμήν, amhn) I say to you.”
3 sn This is what past prophets and righteous people had wanted very much to see, yet the fulfillment had come to the disciples. This remark is like 1 Pet 1:10-12 or Heb 1:1-2.
