matthew 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? - Free Bible Online

matthew 5:47 "And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more [than others]? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?


      47. And if ye salute your brethren only--of the same nation and religion with yourselves.
      what do ye more than others?--what do ye uncommon or extraordinary? that is, wherein do ye excel?
      do not even the publicans so?--The true reading here appears to be, "Do not even the heathens the same?" Compare Mt 18:17, where the excommunicated person is said to be "as an heathen man and a publican."
