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.
Matthew 9:6 eliminate added phrase "of people while I am on the earth." This is not in the original, is not needed for the sense and is likely not even theologically correct since we assume Jesus continues to forgive sins (1 John 2). Besides, the noun "sins" is anarthrous so is a generalized term.
Matthew 8:13 simplify wording "would happen, that I would heal your servant from a distance," taken out since this is assumed from prior narrative and is not a part of the text.
Matthew 8:9 cut added words, " You also speak with a similar kind of authority." This sentence is put into the mouth of the centurion and is interpretive.
Matthew 8:4 simplify and condense the first two sentences of the quoted portion: "Go and show yourself to a nearby priest so that he can examine you and verify that you are no longer sick. Then, after he tells the local people, they will know that you no longer have leprosy, and you will be able to associate with them again." since this is background information as is in the notes. The following also was cut, "that people who have been healed from this sickness should offer as a sacrifice to God." and changed the wording to reflect the same idea.
Matthew 7:5 eliminate extra sentence that is purely applicatory: "When you have stopped sinning, then you will have the spiritual insight to help others get rid of their sins." and not the ULB or any other version including the Greek, of course. This concept is treated in the notes.
Matthew 6:26 cut last sentence, " And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds! So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!" since it is not at all in the ULB or the Greek or other English renderings. This is applicatory and beyond the text.
