Matthew 12:33
ContextTrees and Their Fruit
12:33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad 3 and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.
Matthew 19:17
Context19:17 He said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
1 tn The participle ὄντες (ontes) has been translated concessively.
2 sn The provision of the good gifts is probably a reference to the wisdom and guidance supplied in response to repeated requests. The teaching as a whole stresses not that we get everything we want, but that God gives the good that we need.
3 tn Grk “rotten.” The word σαπρός, modifying both “tree” and “fruit,” can also mean “diseased” (L&N 65.28).
