MAT 10:3 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–4: Jesus appointed the twelve disciples as apostles

In the previous section, Jesus challenged the disciples to pray that God would send out workers into the spiritual harvest. In this section, Jesus appointed his twelve closest disciples as apostles or “sent ones.” He gave them power to cast out evil spirits and heal people. Matthew used this occasion to list the names of these twelve men.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles (CEV)

The Twelve Apostles (GNT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 3:13–19 and Luke 6:12–16.

10:3a

Philip and Bartholomew;

and Philip and Bartholomew,

10:3b

Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;

Thomas and Matthew the tax collector,
and Thomas and Matthew who formerly took money from the people for the government,

10:3a–b

Matthew the tax collector: Matthew was a tax collector, but probably quit that job when he became a disciple of Jesus. If people will think that Matthew still collected taxes, you may want to include some implied information. For example:

Matthew, who was formerly a tax collector

tax collector: The conquering Romans employed certain Jews to collect taxes for them from other Jews. The Romans did not give them wages, rather they allowed the tax collector to take extra taxes for his wages.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

who collected taxes

who took money from the people for the government

The term tax collector first occurs in 9:10b. You should translate it here as you did there.

10:3c

James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

Alphaeus’ son James, and Thaddaeus,
and another James, whose father was Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,

James son of Alphaeus: This James was a different “James” than the one in 10:2c. Alphaeus was his father.

and Thaddaeus: Thaddaeus was another disciple. This person was not James’ mother.If someone were to read the BSB phrase “James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus” without the pause at the comma, it would sound like Alphaeus and Thaddaeus were the parents of James. But the BSB puts the comma in to separate Thaddaeus from the modifier “son of.” And he was also not a son of Alphaeus. Make sure this is clear in your translation. Here is an example:

Alphaeus’ son James and Thaddaeus

James whose father was Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus
