Matthew 12:4 cut extra words, "asked for some food. The high priest gave him" replaced with "ate."
Also, cut the last sentence which is only explanatory, covered by the notes, and not in the text, " And God did not consider that what they did was wrong!"
Matthew 12:3 cut extra sentence at end of verse, "You have read about that, but you do not think about what it means!" This is explanatory and not in the text.
Matthew 10:26 cut extra phrase "about him" since this is assumed and is extra from the original and narrows the action to theology. This is a general statement.
Matthew 10:25 cut extra sentence "The most you can expect is that people will treat you like they treat me." This is not needed for the sense and confuses the wording of the original.
Matthew 10:17 cut extra clause "they will punish you because you are my disciples." This is not in the original and is not needed since the next verse says the same thing.
Matthew 10:16 change wording to reflect the original more closely. From: " And you must no more harm them than doves would. You should be on your guard such people, as snakes are on their guard against people." to what you see.
Matthew 9:28 cut the possessive "his" for house, since Jesus had no place to lay his head (no home). Comments include Matthew's house (9:10) or Peter's house in Capernaum. The Greek has just the article.
Matthew 9:21 changed versification to reflect the original and the portion eliminated from the previous versification 20-21. There was too much assumption in the wording about the widow's thought process. Since the notes also cover this, there is no need for this in this rendition and could be confusing for the MTTs.
Matthew 9:21 eliminate extra wording "She was saying to herself, 'I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding. So if I touch him or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed without anyone finding out about it.' So" since this is explained in the notes and is not in the text.
Matthew 9:10 eliminate extra clause "who did not care about the law of Moses" is not certain. We surmise that they considered themselves beyond any hope of salvation since their track record spoke against them in the theology of the Pharisees, so they settled into a despair. Jesus' message of salvation was the magnet that drew them. Regardless of their spiritual state, to say they did not care is saying too much.
