Matthew 13:52 change wording since the way it was was quite strained: "Because you understand all these parables, you will understand the following parable: You, along with all others, will teach people what you heard me say about how God wishes to rule over people. You will add that to what you formerly learned." I cut a lot of this extra wording and interpretation.
Matthew 13:42 change wording from "the people who cause others to stop believing in me" to "the things that cause..." to reflect the broader view of the final judgment in the next clause and the original. The last part was changed also to reflect the Greek "lawless" or "law-breakers."
Matthew 13:16 change wording from "God is pleased with you" to conform to the sense of Jesus' explanation and quote. Also, changed "seen" to "realized" to continue the parallelism of sense with the next clause.
Matthew 12:49-50 change wording from "If you want to" to "able to" since this is the sense of Jesus' exhortation here as he explains in the next verses.
Matthew 12:49-50 change wording from, "I love as much as I love my mother and brothers." to what you see. The elided application defends Jesus' physical relationship as much as his spiritual one. But this is not what he says. He replaces the physical with the spiritual relationship as the ULB shows along with the original.
Matthew 12:27 change wording from "show you that you are not thinking logically." to what you see since the original does not reproduce the idea of Jesus' counter-argument.
Matthew 12:17 change wording " acting humbly like that" to what you see. To say that Jesus was humble could be surmised from the Messianic Secret, but that is an assumption and is not at all supported by the quote from Isaiah that stresses the Servant's kindness from the point of victory and exaltation.
Matthew 12:6 cut extra clause at end of sentence, ", so what I teach is more important for you to obey than what our ancestors said about the Sabbath day." because this is commentary and a derived idea not in the text.
