translationNotes

• Jesus continues to teach his disciples. This event began in :en:bible🎶mat:05:01.
• against you falsely for my sake - "when it is not true about you but because you follow me" or "without your doing anything to deserve it except believing in me"
• Rejoice and be very glad - "Rejoice" and "be very glad" mean almost the same thing. Jesus wanted his hearers not merely to rejoice but to do even more than rejoice if possible. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_hendiadys)
