- Matthew 13:41 tn Grk “the ones who practice lawlessness.”
- Matthew 13:42 sn A quotation from Dan 3:6.
- Matthew 13:43 sn An allusion to Dan 12:3.
- Matthew 13:43 tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8; 14:35).
