translationNotes

  • Jesus finishes explaining to his apostles that he will reward people who help them as they go.
  • **Whoever gives ** - "Anyone who gives."
  • **one of these unimportant ones, even a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple ** - one of these unimportant ones, even a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple - This can also be translated "one of these little ones a cup of cold water because he is a disciple of mine" or "one of the least of my disciples even a drink of cold water."
  • he will in no way lose his reward - "that person will certainly receive his reward" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_litotes)
  • lose - "be denied." This has nothing to do with having a possession taken away.
