  1. Matthew 19:13 tn Grk “so that he would lay his hands on them and pray.”
  2. Matthew 19:13 tn Grk “the disciples scolded them.” In the translation the referent has been specified as “those who brought them,” since otherwise the statement could be understood to mean that the disciples scolded the children rather than their parents who brought them.
