Matthew 10-11
New English Translation
Sending Out the Twelve Apostles
10 Jesus[a] called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits[b] so they could cast them out and heal every kind of disease and sickness.[c] 2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles:[d] first, Simon[e] (called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew;[f] Thomas[g] and Matthew the tax collector;[h] James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;[i] 4 Simon the Zealot[j] and Judas Iscariot,[k] who betrayed him.[l]
5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows:[m] "Do not go on a road that leads to Gentile regions[n] and do not enter any Samaritan town.[o] 6 Go[p] instead to the lost sheep[q] of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near!' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead,[r] cleanse lepers,[s] cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 Do not take gold, silver, or copper[t] in your belts, 10 no bag[u] for the journey, or an extra tunic,[v] or sandals or staff,[w] for the worker deserves his provisions. 11 Whenever[x] you enter a town or village,[y] find out who is worthy there[z] and stay with them[aa] until you leave. 12 As you enter the house, greet those within it.[ab] 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.[ac] 14 And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust off[ad] your feet as you leave that house or that town. 15 I tell you the truth,[ae] it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah[af] on the day of judgment than for that town!
Persecution of Disciples
16 "I[ag] am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves,[ah] so be wise as serpents[ai] and innocent as doves.[aj] 17 Beware[ak] of people, because they will hand you over to councils[al] and flog[am] you in their synagogues.[an] 18 And you will be brought before governors and kings[ao] because of me, as a witness to them and to the Gentiles. 19 Whenever[ap] they hand you over for trial,[aq] do not worry about how to speak or what to say,[ar] for what you should say will be given to you at that time.[as] 20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 "Brother[at] will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against[au] parents and have them put to death. 22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved! 23 Whenever[av] they persecute you in one town,[aw] flee to another! I tell you the truth,[ax] you will not finish going through all the towns[ay] of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 "A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slave[az] greater than his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house 'Beelzebul,' how much worse will they call[ba] the members of his household!
Fear God, Not Man
26 "Do[bb] not be afraid of them, for nothing is hidden[bc] that will not be revealed,[bd] and nothing is secret that will not be made known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear,[be] proclaim from the housetops.[bf] 28 Do[bg] not be afraid of those who kill the body[bh] but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.[bi] 29 Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny?[bj] Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will.[bk] 30 Even all the hairs on your head are numbered. 31 So do not be afraid;[bl] you are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 "Whoever, then, acknowledges[bm] me before people, I will acknowledge[bn] before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.
Not Peace, but a Sword
34 "Do not think that I have come to bring[bo] peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword![bp] 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, 36 and a man's enemies will be the members of his household.[bq]
37 "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy[br] of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take up his cross[bs] and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life[bt] will lose it,[bu] and whoever loses his life because of me[bv] will find it.
40 "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.[bw] 41 Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever[bx] receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones[by] in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth,[bz] he will never lose his reward."
11 When[ca] Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their towns.[cb]
Jesus and John the Baptist
2 Now when John[cc] heard in prison about the deeds Christ[cd] had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:[ce] 3 "Are you the one who is to come,[cf] or should we look for another?" 4 Jesus answered them,[cg] "Go tell John what you hear and see:[ch] 5 The blind see, the[ci] lame walk, lepers[cj] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them[ck] 6 —and blessed is anyone[cl] who takes no offense at me!"
7 While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness[cm] to see? A reed shaken by the wind?[cn] 8 What[co] did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing?[cp] Look, those who wear soft clothing are in the palaces of kings![cq] 9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more[cr] than a prophet! 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
11 "I tell you the truth,[cu] among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least[cv] in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is! 12 From[cw] the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[cx] and forceful people[cy] lay hold of it. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John appeared.[cz] 14 And if you are willing to accept it,[da] he is Elijah, who is to come. 15 The one who has ears had better listen![db]
16 "To[dc] what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces[dd] who call out to one another,[de]
17 'We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance;[df]
we wailed in mourning,[dg] yet you did not weep.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon!'[dh] 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him,[di] a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors[dj] and sinners!'[dk] But wisdom is vindicated[dl] by her deeds."[dm]
Woes on Unrepentant Cities
20 Then Jesus began to criticize openly the cities[dn] in which he had done many of his miracles, because they did not repent. 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin![do] Woe to you, Bethsaida! If[dp] the miracles[dq] done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,[dr] they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.[ds] 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon[dt] on the day of judgment than for you! 23 And you, Capernaum,[du] will you be exalted to heaven?[dv] No, you will be thrown down to Hades![dw] For if the miracles done among you had been done in Sodom,[dx] it would have continued to this day.[dy] 24 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom[dz] on the day of judgment than for you!"
Jesus' Invitation
25 At that time Jesus said,[ea] "I praise[eb] you, Father, Lord[ec] of heaven and earth, because[ed] you have hidden these things from the wise[ee] and intelligent, and have revealed them to little children.[ef] 26 Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will.[eg] 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father.[eh] No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides[ei] to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke[ej] on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry."
- Matthew 10:1 tn Grk "And he."
- Matthew 10:1 sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.
- Matthew 10:1 tn Grk "every [kind of] disease and every [kind of] sickness." Here "every" was not repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons. The present translation, like several other translations (e.g., NASB, NKJV, CEV, NLT), has opted for "every kind of disease and sickness" here (KJV "all manner of sickness and all manner of disease"), understanding the Greek term πᾶς to refer to "everything belonging, in kind, to the class designated by the noun" (BDAG 784 s.v. 5).sn The same statement about healing was made concerning Jesus' ministry in Matt 9:35, which likewise repeated Matt 4:23. By the choice of wording the evangelist thus links the ministry of the disciples with the ministry of Jesus himself.
- Matthew 10:2 sn The term apostles is rare in the gospels, found only here, Mark 3:14, and six more times in Luke (6:13; 9:10; 11:49; 17:5; 22:14; 24:10).
- Matthew 10:2 sn In the various lists of the twelve, Simon (that is, Peter) is always mentioned first (see also Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16; Acts 1:13) and the first four individuals listed are always the same, although not in the same order following Peter.
- Matthew 10:3 sn Bartholomew means "son of Tolmai" in Aramaic. It has frequently been suggested that this is another name for Nathanael mentioned in John 1:45, although this is not certain.
- Matthew 10:3 sn This is the "doubting Thomas" mentioned in John 20:24-29.
- Matthew 10:3 sn See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.
- Matthew 10:3 tc Witnesses differ on the identification of the last disciple mentioned in v. 3: He is called Λεββαῖος (Lebbaios, "Lebbaeus") in D and Judas Zelotes in the Old Latin witnesses. The Byzantine text, along with a few others (C(*),2 L N W Γ Δ Θ ƒ1 33 565 579 700 1424 M), conflates earlier readings by calling him "Lebbaeus, who was called Thaddaeus," while codex 13 conflates by way of transposition ("Thaddaeus, who was called Lebbaeus"). But excellent and early witnesses (א B ƒ13 892 lat co) call him merely Θαδδαῖος (Thaddaios, "Thaddaeus"), a reading which, because of this support, is most likely correct.
- Matthew 10:4 tn Grk "the Cananean," but according to both BDAG 507 s.v. Καναναῖος and L&N 11.88, this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for "enthusiast, zealot" (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13), possibly because of an earlier affiliation with the party of the Zealots (cf. TEV "Simon the Patriot"). He may not have been technically a member of the particular Jewish nationalistic party known as "Zealots" (since according to some scholars this party had not been organized at that time), but simply someone who was zealous for Jewish independence from Rome, in which case the term would refer to his temperament (cf. CEV "Simon, known as the Eager One").
- Matthew 10:4 sn Just as Peter is always mentioned first in all the lists, Judas Iscariot is always mentioned last, presumably because he was considered unworthy. There is some debate about what the name Iscariot means. It probably alludes to a region in Judea and thus might make Judas the only non-Galilean in the group. Several explanations for the name Iscariot have been proposed, but it is probably transliterated Hebrew with the meaning "man of Kerioth" (there are at least two villages that had that name). For further discussion see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 1:546; also D. A. Carson, John, 304.
- Matthew 10:4 tn Grk "who even betrayed him."
- Matthew 10:5 tn Grk "instructing them, saying."
- Matthew 10:5 tn Grk "on the way/road of the Gentiles." The objective genitive "of the Gentiles" indicates the direction (BDAG 554 s.v. ὁδός 1.a); the restriction is on the territory to be visited rather than contact with individual Gentiles or Samaritans (compare the mission of the seventy-two in Luke 10:4 where even standard greetings along the road are prohibited). sn Since Galilee was surrounded on all sides by Gentile territory except the south, where it bordered on Samaria, this restriction effectively limited the mission of the twelve to Galilee on this occasion.
- Matthew 10:5 tn Grk "town [or city] of the Samaritans."sn This is the only mention of Samaritans or Samaria in the Gospel of Matthew.
- Matthew 10:6 tn Grk "But go." The Greek μᾶλλον (mallon, "rather, instead") conveys the adversative nuance here so that δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:6 sn The imagery of lost sheep probably alludes to Jer 50:6, where the Jewish people have been abandoned by their leaders ("shepherds") and allowed to go astray.
- Matthew 10:8 tc The majority of Byzantine minuscules, along with a few other witnesses (C3 K L Γ Θ 579 700txt* 1424c sa mae), lack νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε (nekrous egeirete, "raise the dead"), most likely because of oversight due to a string of similar endings (-ετε in the second person imperatives, occurring five times in v. 8). The longer version of this verse is found in several diverse and ancient witnesses such as א B C* (D) N 0281vid ƒ1, 13 33 565 579mg lat bo; P W Δ 348 syh have a word-order variation, but nevertheless include νεκροὺς ἐγείρετε. Although some Byzantine-text proponents charge the Alexandrian witnesses with theologically-motivated alterations toward heterodoxy, it is interesting to find a variant such as this in which the charge could be reversed (do the Byzantine scribes have something against the miracle of resurrection?). In reality, such charges of wholesale theologically-motivated changes toward heterodoxy are immediately suspect due to lack of evidence of intentional changes (here the change is evidently due to accidental omission).
- Matthew 10:8 sn See the note on leper in Matt 8:2.
- Matthew 10:9 sn The gold, silver, and copper probably represent varying degrees of provision, with gold the most valuable and copper the least. Jesus' point appears to be that not even minimal provision (copper) was to be taken along, forcing the disciple to be totally dependent on God.
- Matthew 10:10 tn Or "no traveler's bag"; or possibly "no beggar's bag" (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).
- Matthew 10:10 tn Grk "two tunics," that is, wearing one and carrying one as a spare. See the note on the word "tunic" in Matt 5:40.
- Matthew 10:10 tn Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It is possible that Matthew's "two" with regard to the tunics (NET "an extra tunic") extends to cover the sandals and staff as well (although "staff" is singular), making this a summary (cf. Luke 9:3) meaning not taking an extra pair of sandals or an extra staff (like the tunics). It is also possible the expression is merely rhetorical for "traveling light" which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.sn The point of the prohibitions seems to be not so much urgency as total dependence on God. Lack of a staff, in particular, would leave the traveler extremely vulnerable to wild animals and robbers.
- Matthew 10:11 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:11 tn Grk "Into whatever town or village you enter." This acts as a distributive, meaning every town or village they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as "whenever you enter a town or village."
- Matthew 10:11 tn Grk "in it" (referring to the city or village).
- Matthew 10:11 tn Grk "there." This was translated as "with them" to avoid redundancy in English and to clarify where the disciples were to stay.sn Jesus telling his disciples to stay with them in one house contrasts with the practice of religious philosophers in the ancient world who went from house to house begging. Staying in one location would give the disciples a base of operations for mission in the area as long as they were there.
- Matthew 10:12 tn Grk "give it greetings." The expression "give it greetings" is a metonymy; the "house" is put for those who live in it. The translation clarifies this because it sounds odd in contemporary English to speak of greeting a building.
- Matthew 10:13 sn The response to these messengers determines how God's blessing is bestowed—if the messengers are not welcomed, their blessing will return to them. Jesus shows just how important their mission is by this remark.
- Matthew 10:14 sn To shake the dust off represented, on one level, shaking off the uncleanness from one's feet; see Luke 10:11; Acts 13:51; 18:6. At another level, however, it is similar to a prophetic sign, representing the termination of all fellowship with those individuals or localities that have rejected the messengers along with their message of the coming kingdom of heaven. This in essence constitutes a sign of eschatological judgment, as confirmed in the following verse.
- Matthew 10:15 tn Grk "Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you."
- Matthew 10:15 sn Sodom and Gomorrah were widely regarded as the most wicked of OT cities from the actions described in Gen 19:1-29; even in OT times their wickedness had become proverbial (Isa 1:9-10). The allusion to God's judgment on these cities is not intended to indicate that they might be shown mercy on the day of judgment, but to warn that rejecting the messengers with their current message about the coming kingdom is even more serious than the worst sins of Sodom and Gomorrah and will result in even more severe punishment.
- Matthew 10:16 tn Grk "Behold I." The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
- Matthew 10:16 sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism (see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30; also 1 Enoch 89:55). For more on the sheep imagery see H. Preisker and S. Schulz, TDNT 6:690. The imagery of sheep surrounded by wolves suggests violence, and prepares the hearers for the persecutions of disciples described in vv. 17-26.
- Matthew 10:16 sn The craftiness of serpents is proverbial and can be traced as far back as Gen 3:1. As for how it applies to Jesus' disciples sent out with the message of the coming kingdom, interpreters have been far less certain, and there is a great diversity of opinion.
- Matthew 10:16 sn Doves were regarded in both Greek and Jewish culture of the first century as symbols of purity, integrity, and harmlessness (see H. Greeven, TDNT 6:65-67).
- Matthew 10:17 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:17 sn Councils in this context has a non-technical sense referring to local judicial bodies (courts) attached to the Jewish synagogue (cf. BDAG 967 s.v. συνέδριον 1.a). These courts would be responsible for meting out justice and discipline within the Jewish community.
- Matthew 10:17 tn Or "and have you flogged" (a causative sense). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, "of flogging as a punishment decreed by the synagogue (Dt 25:2f; s. the Mishna Tractate Sanhedrin-Makkoth, edited w. notes by SKrauss '33) w. acc. of pers. Mt 10:17; 23:34."
- Matthew 10:17 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.
- Matthew 10:18 sn These statements look at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of councils and synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to governors and kings suggests. Some fulfillment of Jewish persecution can be seen in Acts 4:3; 5:17-18, 40-41; 6:12; 7:1-60; 8:1-3, and of Gentile persecution in Acts 25:2-12, 24-27.
- Matthew 10:19 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:19 tn Or "hand you over into custody," in particular "as a t.t. of police and courts 'hand over into [the] custody [of]'" (BDAG 762 s.v. παραδίδωμι 1.b). In context some sort of trial is implied (cf. Luke 12:11).
- Matthew 10:19 tn Grk "how or what you might speak."
- Matthew 10:19 tn Grk "in that hour."
- Matthew 10:21 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.sn The mention of father and child in the following clause indicates that brother here refers to actual siblings, the members of one's own family.
- Matthew 10:21 tn Or "will rebel against."
- Matthew 10:23 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:23 tn The Greek word πόλις (polis) can mean either "town" or "city" depending on the context (BDAG 844 s.v. 1, "population center of varying size, city, town").
- Matthew 10:23 tn Grk "For truly (ἀμήν, amēn) I say to you." Here γάρ (gar, "for") has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:23 tn The Greek word πόλις (polis), can mean either "town" or "city" (see previous note in this verse). "Town" was employed here to emphasize the large number of places to visit (not just the largest cities) and thus the extensive nature of the disciples' ministry.
- Matthew 10:24 tn See the note on the word "slave" in 8:9.
- Matthew 10:25 tn The words "will they call" are not in the Greek text but are implied, and have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
- Matthew 10:26 tn Grk "Therefore do not." Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:26 tn Or "concealed."
- Matthew 10:26 tn The passive voice here and with the next verb is probably used for rhetorical effect. Although it is common to understand such usage, particularly in the gospels, as examples of the so-called "divine passive" where God is the unstated performer of the action, according to Wallace (ExSyn 438) this category is overused.sn The passive verbs revealed and made known suggest the revelation comes from God. The text is both a warning about bad things being revealed and an encouragement that good things will be made known.
- Matthew 10:27 tn Grk "what you hear in the ear," an idiom meaning "say someth. into someone's ear, i.e., secretly or in confidence, whisper" (BDAG 739 s.v. οὖς 1).
- Matthew 10:27 tn The expression "proclaim from the housetops" is an idiom for proclaiming something publicly (L&N 7.51; BDAG 266 s.v. δῶμα). Roofs of many first century Jewish houses in Judea and Galilee were flat and had access either from outside or from within the house. Something shouted from atop a house would be heard by everyone in the street below.
- Matthew 10:28 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:28 sn A similar exhortation is found in 4 Macc 13:14-15, reflecting the view of Judaism in the intertestamental period. The statement here assumes there is more to a person than a body. As J. Nolland states, "Fear of God is to displace fear of death-dealing persecutors. The stakes are higher with God" (Matthew [NIGTC], 436).
- Matthew 10:28 sn While destroy is sometimes taken to mean annihilation, it does not necessarily have to imply that here ("Of eternal death… Mt 10:28, " BDAG 116 s.v. ἀπόλλυμι 1.a.α). There are some Jewish intertestamental texts that appear to reflect a belief in everlasting punishment for the wicked (Jdt 16:17; 1QS 2:8) as well as Rev 14:11 in the NT. See also the note on the word hell in 5:22.
- Matthew 10:29 sn The penny refers to an assarion, a small Roman copper coin. One of them was worth one-sixteenth of a denarius or less than a half hour's average wage. Sparrows were the cheapest items sold in the market. The point of Jesus' statement is that God knows about even the most financially insignificant things; see Isa 49:15.
- Matthew 10:29 tn Or "to the ground without the knowledge and consent of your Father."sn This is a typical form of rabbinic argumentation, from the lesser to the greater: If God cares about the lesser thing (sparrows) how much more does he care about the greater thing (people).
- Matthew 10:31 sn This represents the third call by Jesus not to be afraid in the section (previously in vv. 26, 28). Since these two previous references were related to fear of persecution, it is probable that this one does as well. Once again the sparrows are mentioned and the argument is from lesser to greater (if God cares about individual hairs on the head and about sparrows, how much more does he care about people).
- Matthew 10:32 tn Or "confesses"; cf. BDAG 708 s.v. ὁμολογέω 4, "to acknowledge someth., ordinarily in public, acknowledge, claim, profess, praise."
- Matthew 10:32 tn Grk "I will acknowledge [or, confess] him also."sn This acknowledgment will take place at the judgment. On Jesus and judgment, see Luke 22:69; Acts 10:42-43; 17:31.
- Matthew 10:34 tn Grk "cast." For βάλλω (ballō) in the sense of bringing about (or causing) a state or condition, see L&N 13.14; BDAG 163-64 s.v. 4.
- Matthew 10:34 sn For rhetorical reasons, Jesus' statement is deliberately paradoxical (seeming to state the opposite of Matt 10:13 where the messengers are to bring peace). The conflict implied by the sword is not primarily eschatological in this context, however, but immediate, and concerns the division and discord even among family members that a person's allegiance to Jesus would bring (vv. 35-39).
- Matthew 10:36 tn Matt 10:35-36 are an allusion to Mic 7:6.
- Matthew 10:37 tn Here "worthy" (ἄξιος, axios) means "does not deserve to belong to me" (BDAG 94 s.v. 2.a), i.e., "is not worthy to be my disciple" (cf. Luke 14:26) or perhaps "is not worthy to participate in the kingdom" (to be undeserving of Jesus is to be undeserving of the kingdom he brings).sn The statement demands uncompromising, radical loyalty to Jesus, a loyalty so powerful that it surpasses normal human relationships, even familial ones.
- Matthew 10:38 sn According to Plutarch, "Every criminal who is executed carries his own cross" (De sera numinus vindicta 9.554b). Jesus is speaking figuratively here in the context of rejection. If one's allegiance to Jesus does not have absolute priority, then one will not follow him in the face of possible rejection and persecution.
- Matthew 10:39 tn Grk "his soul." The Greek ψυχή (psuchē) has many different meanings depending on the context. The two primary meanings here are the earthly life (animate life, sometimes called "physical life") and the inner life (the life that transcends the earthly life, sometimes called "the soul"). The fact that the Greek term can have both meanings creates in this verse both a paradox and a wordplay. The desire to preserve both aspects of ψυχή (psuchē) for oneself creates the tension here (cf. BDAG 1099 s.v. 1.a; 2.d,e). Translation of the Greek term ψυχή (psuchē) presents a particularly difficult problem in this verse. Most English versions since the KJV have translated the term "life." This preserves the paradox of finding one's "life" (in the sense of earthly life) while at the same time really losing it (in the sense of "soul" or transcendent inner life) and vice versa, but at the same time it obscures the wordplay that results from the same Greek word having multiple meanings. To translate as "soul," however, gives the modern English reader the impression of the immortal soul at the expense of the earthly life. On the whole it is probably best to use the translation "life" and retain the paradox at the expense of the wordplay.
- Matthew 10:39 sn The Greek word translated life can refer to both earthly, physical life and inner, transcendent life (one's "soul"). In the context, if a person is not willing to suffer the world's rejection and persecution in order to follow Jesus but instead seeks to retain his physical life, then that person will lose both physical life and inner, transcendent life (at the judgment). On the other hand, the one who willingly gives up earthly, physical life to follow Jesus ("loses his life because of me") will ultimately find one's "soul" (note that the parallel in John's Gospel speaks of "guarding one's 'soul' for eternal life" (John 12:25).
- Matthew 10:39 tn Or "for my sake." The traditional rendering "for my sake" can be understood in the sense of "for my benefit," but the Greek term ἕνεκα (heneka) indicates the cause or reason for something (BDAG 334 s.v. 1).
- Matthew 10:40 sn The one who sent me refers to God. Reception of the messengers (and by implication, the message they bring) is equivalent to reception of both Jesus and God the Father himself.
- Matthew 10:41 tn Grk "And whoever." Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
- Matthew 10:42 sn Mention of these little ones in the context seems slightly odd since Jesus is addressing disciples, and this seems to refer to disciples. Probably it is another reference to the itinerant messengers mentioned previously (v. 40). Even a minimal act of kindness shown to one of these (a cup of cold water) will not go unacknowledged and unrewarded.
- Matthew 10:42 tn Grk "Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you."
- Matthew 11:1 tn Grk "And it happened when." The introductory phrase καὶ ἐγένετο (kai egeneto, "it happened that") is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
- Matthew 11:1 sn The antecedent of "their" in their towns is not entirely clear. In Matt 4:23 "their synagogues" apparently refers to the people of Galilee, and in 9:35 to the synagogues of the towns Jesus is visiting. Here, however, the most likely antecedent is Jesus' disciples mentioned at the beginning of this verse.
- Matthew 11:2 sn John refers to John the Baptist.
- Matthew 11:2 tc The Western codex D and a few other mss (0233 1424 syc) read "Jesus" here instead of "Christ." This is not likely to be original because it is not found in the earliest and most important mss, nor in the rest of the ms tradition.tn Or "Messiah"; both "Christ" (Greek) and "Messiah" (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean "one who has been anointed." sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.
- Matthew 11:2 tc Most witnesses, including several significant ones (C3 L Γ ƒ1 565 579 700 1424 M lat bo), read "two of his disciples" instead of "by his disciples" (see the tn below for the reading of the Greek). The difference in Greek, however, is only two letters: διὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ vs. δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ (dia tōn mathētōn autou vs. duo tōn mathētōn autou). Although an accidental alteration could account for either of these readings, it is more likely that δύο is an assimilation to the parallel in Luke 7:18, perhaps motivated by the somewhat awkward Greek in Matthew's wording (with "by his disciples" the direct object of "sending" [πέμψας] needs to be supplied). Further, διά is read by a good number of early and excellent witnesses (א B C* D P W Z Δ Θ 0233 ƒ13 33 sa), and thus should be considered autographic.tn Grk "sending by his disciples he said to him." The words "a question" are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
- Matthew 11:3 sn In light of the confidence expressed by John in Matt 3:14 some have difficulty reconciling the doubts he expresses here about Jesus' identity as the Messiah. From John's perspective in prison, however, the enemies of God (including Herod Antipas) had not yet been judged with the coming apocalyptic judgment John had preached and had expected Jesus to fulfill. Lack of immediate apocalyptic fulfillment was a frequent cause of misunderstanding about Jesus' messianic identity (cf. Luke 24:19-21).
- Matthew 11:4 tn Grk "And answering, Jesus said to them." This construction is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
- Matthew 11:4 sn What you hear and see. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering John's question not by acknowledging a title (the Christ), but by pointing to the nature of his works, which verify his identity and indicate the fulfillment of the OT promises.
- Matthew 11:5 tn Grk "and the," but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Two other conjunctions are omitted in this series.
- Matthew 11:5 sn See the note on leper in Matt 8:2.
- Matthew 11:5 sn The good news proclaimed is the message about the arrival of the kingdom (cf. Matt 10:7) which the messengers are to go about proclaiming.
- Matthew 11:6 tn Grk "whoever."
- Matthew 11:7 tn Or "desert."
- Matthew 11:7 tn It is debated whether this expression should be read figuratively ("to see someone who is easily blown over?") or literally ("to see the wilderness vegetation blowing in the wind?…No, to see a prophet"). Either view is possible, but the following examples suggest the question should be read literally, meaning that an extraordinary event like the arrival of a prophet (rather than the common occurrence of plants blowing in the wind) drew them to the desert.
- Matthew 11:8 tn Grk "But what." Here ἀλλά (alla, a strong contrastive in Greek) produces a somewhat awkward sense in English, and has not been translated. The same situation occurs at the beginning of v. 9.
- Matthew 11:8 sn The reference to soft clothing suggests that John was not rich or powerful, nor did he come from the wealthy or ruling classes. The crowds came out into the wilderness not to see the rich and famous, but to see a prophet.
- Matthew 11:8 tn Grk "houses." Cf. BDAG 698 s.v. οἶκος 1.a.β, "of any large building οἶκος τοῦ βασιλέως the king's palace."
- Matthew 11:9 tn John the Baptist is "more" because he introduces the one (Jesus) who brings the new era. The term is neuter, but may be understood as masculine in this context (BDAG 806 s.v. περισσότερος b).sn How John the Baptist is more than a prophet is explained in the following verse: John is the forerunner of the Messiah, who goes before him and prepares his way.
- Matthew 11:10 tn Grk "before your face" (an idiom).
- Matthew 11:10 sn The quotation is primarily from Mal 3:1 with pronouns from Exod 23:20, and provides a more precise description of John the Baptist's role. He is the forerunner who points the way to the arrival of God's salvation. His job is to prepare and guide the people (just as the cloud did for Israel in the wilderness at the time of the Exodus).
- Matthew 11:11 tn Grk "Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you."
- Matthew 11:11 sn After John comes a shift of eras. John stands at the end of the old era (those born of women), and is to some extent a pivotal or transitional figure. The new era which John heralds is so great that the lowest member of it (the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven) is greater than the greatest one of the previous era. (The parallel passage Luke 7:28 reads kingdom of God.)
- Matthew 11:12 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 11:12 tn Or perhaps "the kingdom of heaven is entered by force." The verb βιάζεται can be understood as either passive voice or middle voice by form. An additional problem is whether the term is to be understood in a negative sense or a positive sense. It is frequently understood here as a passive in a negative sense, "is violently treated," "is oppressed", or "has suffered violence" (so here and NRSV); cf. BDAG 175 s.v. βιάζω 1. As an (intransitive) middle voice the negative meaning "has been coming violently" has been suggested (NRSV mg), although the way in which the violence occurs is not clear. Another possible intransitive middle meaning in this passage (this one positive) is "to use force" which here might mean "makes its way with (triumphant) force" (cf. BDAG 175 s.v. βιάζω 2). Still another possible positive meaning is "to seek fervently" (BDAG 175 s.v. βιάζω 3). Resolution of the problem is not easy, but the presence of the noun βιαστής in the following clause (meaning "violent person" or "impetuous person" (BDAG 176 s.v.) suggests a negative sense is more likely here, while contextual differences point to a somewhat different meaning for the term βιάζεται in Luke 16:16.
- Matthew 11:12 tn Or "violent people"; see the previous note on "has suffered violence" in this verse.
- Matthew 11:13 tn The word "appeared" is not in the Greek text, but is implied. In the interest of clarity other translations have supplied phrases like "up to the time of John" (NAB); "until the time of John" (TEV); "until John came" (NRSV); "until the time John came" (NCV).sn The statement seems to imply that the law and the prophets continued until John appeared, but John's arrival on the scene marks a transition to the time of fulfillment about which the prophets prophesied. John is a transitional figure with connections to both the previous age and the coming age inaugurated by Jesus.
- Matthew 11:14 sn Why might one of Jesus' hearers not be willing to accept this? Because John's role as Elijah, forerunner of the Messiah, has been interrupted by his imprisonment, and will be even more disrupted by his execution. Although Jesus does not state it here, similar difficulties will arise in his own case since his role as Messiah will appear to be derailed by his arrest and execution on a Roman cross (Luke 24:19-21).
- Matthew 11:15 tn The translation "had better listen!" captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional "let him hear," which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus' common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8; 14:35).
- Matthew 11:16 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 11:16 sn The marketplaces (Greek agora) were not only places of trade and commerce in the first century Greco-Roman world. They were places of discussion and dialogue (the "public square"), places of judgment (courts held session there), places for idle people and those seeking work, and places for children to play.
- Matthew 11:16 tn Grk "who call out to one another, saying." The participle λέγουσιν (legousin) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
- Matthew 11:17 sn 'We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance…' The children of this generation were making the complaint (see vv. 18-19) that others were not playing the game according to the way they played the music. John and Jesus did not follow "their tune." Jesus' complaint was that this generation wanted things their way, not God's.
- Matthew 11:17 tn Or "we sang a lament" (cf. BDAG 458 s.v. θρηνέω 2). In context, however, it appears the verb ἐθρηνήσαμεν (ethrēnēsamen) refers to the loud wailing and lamenting used to mourn the dead in public in 1st century Jewish culture (BDAG 458 s.v. 3, "to mourn for someone in ritual fashion").
- Matthew 11:18 sn Some interpreters have understood neither eating nor drinking as referring to the avoidance of excess. More likely it represents a criticism of John the Baptist being too separatist and ascetic, and so he was accused of not being directed by God, but by a demon.
- Matthew 11:19 tn Grk "Behold a man."
- Matthew 11:19 sn See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.
- Matthew 11:19 sn Neither were the detractors happy with Jesus (the Son of Man), even though he represented the opposite of John's asceticism and associated freely with people like tax collectors and sinners in celebratory settings where the banquet imagery suggested the coming kingdom of God. Either way, God's messengers were subject to complaint.
- Matthew 11:19 tn Or "shown to be right."
- Matthew 11:19 tc Most witnesses (B2 C D L N Γ Δ Θ ƒ1 33 565 579 700 1424 M lat) have "children" (τέκνων, teknōn) here instead of "deeds" (ἔργων, ergōn), but since "children" is the reading of the parallel in Luke 7:35, scribes would be motivated to convert the less colorful "deeds" into more animate offspring of wisdom. Further, ἔργων enjoys support from א B* W (ƒ13) as well as early versional and patristic support.
- Matthew 11:20 tn The Greek word here is πόλις (polis) which can be translated "city" or "town." "Cities" was chosen here to emphasize the size of the places mentioned by Jesus in the following verses, since these localities tended to be relatively larger and more important by the standards of the time.
- Matthew 11:21 sn Chorazin was a town of Galilee that was probably fairly small in contrast to Bethsaida and is otherwise unattested. Bethsaida was more significant; it was declared a polis ("city") by the tetrarch Herod Philip, sometime after a.d. 30.
- Matthew 11:21 tn This introduces a second class (contrary to fact) condition in the Greek text.
- Matthew 11:21 tn Or "powerful deeds."
- Matthew 11:21 sn Tyre and Sidon are two other notorious OT cities (Isa 23; Jer 25:22; 47:4). The remark is a severe rebuke, in effect: "Even the hardened sinners of the old era would have responded to the proclamation of the kingdom and repented, unlike you!"
- Matthew 11:21 sn To clothe oneself in sackcloth and ashes was a public sign of mourning or lament, in this case for past behavior and associated with repentance.
- Matthew 11:22 sn Jesus' general point is that in the day of judgment the Gentile cities will come off better than the cities of Galilee. This is not to indicate toleration for the sins of the Gentile cities, but to show how badly the judgment will go for the Galilean ones. In the OT prophetic oracles were pronounced repeatedly against Tyre and Sidon: Isa 23:1-18; Ezek 26:1-28:26; Joel 4:4; Zech 9:2-4.
- Matthew 11:23 sn Capernaum was a town located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It existed since Hasmonean times and was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region. The population in the first century is estimated to be around 1,500. Capernaum became the hub of operations for Jesus' Galilean ministry (Matt 4:13; Mark 2:1). In modern times the site was discovered in 1838 by the American explorer E. Robinson, and major excavations began in 1905 by German archaeologists H. Kohl and C. Watzinger. Not until 1968, however, were remains from the time of Jesus visible; in that year V. Corbo and S. Loffreda began a series of annual archaeological campaigns that lasted until 1985. This work uncovered what is thought to be the house of Simon Peter as well as ruins of the first century synagogue beneath the later synagogue from the fourth or fifth century A.D. Today gently rolling hills and date palms frame the first century site, a favorite tourist destination of visitors to the Galilee.
- Matthew 11:23 tn The interrogative particle introducing this question expects a negative reply.
- Matthew 11:23 sn In the OT, Hades was known as Sheol. It is the place where the unrighteous will reside (Luke 10:15; 16:23; Rev 20:13-14).
- Matthew 11:23 sn See the note on Sodom and Gomorrah in Matt 10:15.
- Matthew 11:23 sn The implication is that such miracles would have brought about the repentance of the inhabitants of Sodom, and so it would not have been destroyed, but would have continued to this day.
- Matthew 11:24 sn The allusion to Sodom, the most wicked of OT cities (Gen 19:1-29), shows that to reject the current message brought by Jesus is even more serious (and will result in more severe punishment) than the worst sins of the old era. The phrase region of Sodom is in emphatic position in the Greek text and refers not only to the city itself but to the surrounding area.
- Matthew 11:25 tn Grk "At that time, answering, Jesus said." This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
- Matthew 11:25 tn Or "thank."
- Matthew 11:25 sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God's care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.
- Matthew 11:25 tn Or "that."
- Matthew 11:25 sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31, where Paul states that not many of the wise, powerful, or privileged had responded to the gospel.
- Matthew 11:25 tn Or "to the childlike," or "the innocent" (BDAG 671 s.v. νήπιος 1.b.β).
- Matthew 11:26 tn Grk "for (to do) thus was well-pleasing before you," BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.b.δ states: "as a reverential way of expressing oneself, when one is speaking of an eminent pers., and esp. of God, not to connect the subject directly w. what happens, but to say that it took place 'before someone.'"
- Matthew 11:27 sn This verse, frequently referred to as the "bolt from the Johannine blue," has been noted for its conceptual similarity to statements in John's Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined. The statement here also occurs in Luke 10:22, and serves as a warning against drawing a simplistic dichotomy between Jesus' teaching in the synoptic gospels and Jesus' teaching in the Gospel of John.
- Matthew 11:27 tn Or "wishes"; or "intends"; or "plans" (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.
- Matthew 11:29 sn A yoke is a wooden bar or frame that joins two animals like oxen or horses so that they can pull a wagon, plow, etc. together. Here it is used figuratively of the restrictions that a teacher or rabbi would place on his followers.

There's been a lot of confusion about what ChatGPT and other AI tools can do. Some people think it's the end of humanity. Others think it will be greatly productive. The important thing to know is that, like the internet, this is a big advance in technology that will create a lot of opportunities for better business operations and growth.
ChatGPT is basically a word calculator. If we use calculators, why not use a word calculator instead of generating all those words? This podcast explains that what started out as neural networks 35 years ago, and machine learning algorithms 20 years ago, is now AI. It's a bigger, better tool for looking at very large data sets to help you make a better decision. And those who make better decisions make more money, sell more stuff, and survive longer in the marketplace. Ignore AI at your peril, because you could end up like farriers, mule skinners and elevator operators if you don't.

Twitter returned to this week's IAB NewFronts digital ad showcase touting new and extended premium-publisher tie-ups to potential advertisers.
The social network first used the event in 2017. This time, it is also announcing a deal with iSpot.tv and NBCU.
In this video interview with Beet.TV, Sarah Rosen, Head of US Content Partnerships, explains the highlights of Twitter's pitch.
Tech tools
Twitter is becoming the first social partner to test an integration with iSpot, NBCUniversal's new cross-platform video measurement provider..
Rosen says: "NBC announced their partnership with iSpot and we are thrilled to be their first social partner to be part of this.
"What it will essentially do is allow advertisers the opportunity to measure the incremental audience they are reaching through their Twitter Amplify campaigns, which is a question people have been asking since the dawn of time."
In January, NBCUniversal said it picked iSpot.tv as its first cross-platform Certified Measurement Partner for cross-screen video, starting with a "test-and-learn" approach for the "alternative currency" with Publicis Media this Q1.
That will lead to "massive pilots" for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and Super Bowl LVI.
Premium partners
Twitter also announced a new pilot program will allow advertisers to promote and run pre-roll on live event pages featuring real-time highlights.
Among the content tie-ups:
- Fox Sports will show in-match previews and live pre-game shows for FIFA World Cup and Women's World Cup matches in Qutar 2022 and Australia/New Zealand 2023. Clips are available to sponsor through Fox and Twitter Amplify.
- E! News is launching a new, made-for-Twitter live-stream show, While You Were Streaming, featuring writers and stars talking about popular streaming TV shows.
- WNBA is doing a multi-year extension of its Twitter partnership, bringing 12 live games, new Spaces events, polls, player interviews and Moments.
- Condé Nast and Twitter are extending their existing relationship with content open to sponsorships across video, Spaces, Moments and live events.
Rosen says: "E! is going to be bringing an only on Twitter show to actually cover what's happening on those streaming shows, what people are talking about, breaking down episodes. We are just really excited for this new format, with a partner that we know is going to deliver premium content."
On sport, she adds: "It's a further commitment of Twitter's support of women's sports. We believe in the W."
Renewed deals
Twitter also announced other content deal extensions:
- ESSENCE is expanding its Twitter partnership, including with highlights from events like ESSENCE Festival of Culture and the Global Black Economic Forum.
- REVOLT is bringing content several of its shows through Twitter.
Rosen says: "What we want advertisers to know is:
- "We have premium content for every passionate audience out there, whether it's sports, news, entertainment, lifestyle music.
- "We have trusted content partners that are delivering premium brand-safe content for a wide variety of audiences.
- "It's a turnkey solution for you to align with content via Twitter Amplify."

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - More than 400 teachers in Douglas County have been vaccinated.
"We conducted a survey back in December that indicated 80% of those who responded intend to get the vaccination. We are eager for staff to receive the vaccination as this will bring us another step closer to normalcy," said Dr. Cheryl Logan, Superintendent of Omaha Public Schools.
An additional 14% of teachers will be vaccinated this weekend over those vaccinated this past weekend.
"I have some additional good news, the state was able to put in an order for the J&J vaccine. The state has put in an order for 15,000 and Douglas County is allotted 5,000," said Douglas County Health Director Dr. Adi Pour.
Causing concern are the variants. Currently, 44 states have variants, including Nebraska.
"What it is really encouraging is the J&J vaccine included individuals from South Africa and Brazil, so what we can say is that vaccine is also effective against the variant," said Pour. "I would caution against comparing vaccine to vaccine, all are good against hospitalization and death."
Teachers will be vaccinated by the school district they work in and not by the county they live in and it will be based on student enrollment numbers.
The teacher vaccinations will take place this weekend at Millard North High School and North Omaha High school.

Photo: Southside High School seniors Luke Holcombe (left) and Ryan Maudsley signed cross country scholarships with Wallace State-Hanceville on December 16. (Submitted photo)
By Chris McCarthy, Publisher/Editor
For at least two more years, Luke Holcombe and Ryan Maudsley will hit the ground running together.
The Southside High School seniors signed cross country scholarships with Wallace State-Hanceville on December 16.
"For Luke and Ryan to be signing with Wallace State is a great opportunity," said Southside cross country coach Kim Nails. "These boys are our family, and we're looking forward to watching them grow and mature as young men at Wallace and become the best runners they can be."
The pair helped the 2021 Panthers win a fourth straight Etowah County Schools championship and take second place at the Class 6A Section 5 meet.
In nine events in 2021, Holcombe finished in the top 5 five times, including four runner-up efforts. He capped his senior season with a PR of 16:12, the second fastest time school history. He finished 19th out of 258 runners at the AHSAA state meet, was an All-County selection all three varsity seasons and qualified to run in the state all three of his varsity years.
A pair of former standout Southside runners helped inspire Holcombe's goal of running cross country in college.
"Ever since I watched both Hunter Nails (UAH) and Taylor Nails (Wallace Hanceville) commit, I knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to have the same feeling that they had," he said. "They definitely pushed me to where I wanted to be today."
Prior to his sophomore year, Holcombe decided to forego playing football and concentrate exclusively on running. Holcombe's determination and work ethic caught the eye of Kim Nails early on, as he improved his 5K PR from 17:26 as a sophomore to 16.46 as a junior.
"After that, I knew that I wanted to run in college," he said. "I started training with (SHS junior) Ryan and Jackson Griggs and Parker Cunningham over the summer and really putting the miles in. I can't remember how many times I called my mom and dad and told that that I had to run late. I sacrificed a lot, but I also gained a lot, so it's been a great experience."
Kim Nails noted that she would see Holcomb's car parked on Saturdays and Sundays at the Rainbow Middle School track as he logged his miles.
"That told me that Luke had the drive, determination, self-discipline and work ethic to compete at the next level," she said. "Luke's success wasn't a result of just having a good race; it was a result of his hard work and the miles he put in June, July and August. That's where you become the best runner you can be."
Kim Nails pointed to Holcomb's this past season experience at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville, where he competed against 457 other runners and finished a half-second out of first place in his division.
"As the race went on and the runners began to thin, Luke was in the top mix. He continued to reel in the leader, and if had he had just another 10th of a mile, I believe he would have won the race. We are very proud of Luke and his achievement and how hard he was willing to work to give himself the opportunity to be here today."
A six-time all-county and all-section and two-time all-state selection, Maudsley began his cross country career as a seventh grader. He decided he wanted to run in college during his freshman season. He burst onto the scene during his sophomore season, finishing first in the county and in sectionals while leading the Panthers to a second straight county sectional title. He set a personal record of 16:31 on his way to making the all-state team.
Some prodding from Taylor Nails helped Maudsley attain the above achievements.
"Taylor would always pick me up on Sundays and force me to run with him. That helped keep me motivated to do well."
Maudsley's junior year of 2020 was hampered by a hip injury, which led to therapy sessions and regular visits to the chiropractor. However, he pushed through the discomfort to compete in all nine 5K events on the schedule.
"Knowing that to compete, you have to be running and training but also knowing that the running was not giving time for healing was like a Catch-22 for Ryan," said Nails. "I know it was frustrating for him. But he knew the team needed him, so we juggled the workouts to try to maintain his fitness while trying not to not worsen his hip."
Maudsley rebounded this year to finish in the top 10 in five of his nine events. He placed 32nd out of 258 runners at the state meet. He finished third in the county and ninth at sectionals.
"It pretty much didn't start getting better until this season," he said. "I had a late start to the season because of a slight cast during the summer, so I had to keep pushing when the rest of team had some tapering weeks. But even though my times were a minute or two slower that what I used to run, this season was the hardest racing I'd ever done."
"Ryan is a great example of persevering through adversity, and we are extremely proud of the impact he has made over the last six years," said Nails. "He's been vital to the success of our program. I'm so proud for him and the opportunity he has before him."
Wallace Hanceville is the four-time defending state champions in the Alabama Community College Conference. Coach Stan Narewski was named the 2021 ACCC Coach of the Year as Wallace-Hanceville captured its ninth overall conference title.
"Ryan and Luke obviously are excellent runners, and their background in the Southside program means that they're well coached and well educated," said Narewski. "I know that Coach Nails give them an understanding of why they're doing what they're doing, which is what we do with our kids. If we get someone from that program, we know they're going to be low maintenance.
Someone can tell me of a good 15-minute guy who wants to come to Wallace, but if he's not a good guy, we don't want him. These are two great young men who are a great fit for our program. In terms of character and ability and talent, Ryan and Luke are going to be great additions."
Maudsley and Holcombe are looking forward to joining the premiere junior college cross country program in the state.
"I visited a couple other college's but what [Wallace Hanceville] offered was right up my alley, and the campus felt like home," said Holcombe. "I also appreciated how friendly Coach Stan was when talked to me after my meets, whether it was a small meet or the state meet. I really enjoyed that."
"I've been to a couple of [running] camps when Coach Stan was the head person, and I really liked him," said Maudsley. "I also like the idea of knocking out the basic [college] courses at a lower price."
Both Holcombe and Maudsley plan on continuing their academic and athletic careers at UAH after graduating from Wallace, so they are looking forward to several more years together on the 5K courses. Both are planning on majoring in mechanical engineering.
"To be able to run with my best friend at the collegiate, especially with all the injuries he's had to deal with, is absolutely amazing," said Holcombe. "I remember looking up to him when I started and now getting to run with him in college is something special."
"I like running with guys who are near the same speed as me," said Maudsley. "It helps makes training easier, especially with someone's who is a good friend."
Both runners will compete in the distance events in the upcoming track and field season, Holcomb in the 800, 1600 and 3200-meter runs and Maudsley in the 1600 and 3200.
"One of our goals as a team is to break the school record in the 4×800 like we did last year," said Holcombe. "We've got the team to do it again this year, and me Ryan and Jackson are talking about finding a fourth man. We want to drop that time down to the point where it won't get broken again."
"Hopefully me and Luke and Jackson can qualify in the 16 and 32 and get to go to state," said Maudsley. "I think we can also qualify in the 4×800 if we continue to train together and stay healthy."

This may be a stupid question, but can anyone help me create an .exe from an executable .jar file? I use the program all the time to convert comics to read on the Sony Reader. It's portable by default, and it doesn't save settings. I'd like it to show up in the PAM though, and use the portable Java on my external drive. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I'd come into the channel, but I was told no more IRC from work. :/
(Also, I did a forum search and only came up with an old thread that really wasn't of much help. If this post seems unnecessary please delete it.)

3 Great Ads is a long-running Thinkbox and Campaign series. The idea is not only to explore some of our greatest ads in the company of people who know a thing or two about making them, but also - because of the proven link between creativity and effectiveness - to inspire the ad industry to even greater heights.
Hallbery is an ECD at Mother London. There aren't too many of Mother London's clients that Hallbery, one of its ECDs, hasn't worked with but, in the last few years, you'd have found him working with IKEA, MoneySuperMarket, KFC and Gousto. Hallbery is interested in writing culturally impactful and famous work and when he's not at Mother, you'll find him writing and releasing electronic music from his basement.
Hallbery's Choices
1. Tide "It's a Tide ad" (2018)
During 2018's Super Bowl, Saatchi & Saatchi and Tide ran a highly successful advertising campaign featuring David Harbour from Stranger Things. The campaign creatively parodied different ad genres including car, beer, perfume, insurance, razor and so on by revealing each one to be a Tide ad, highlighting the connection between clean clothes and the detergent. Through this ad, the brand switched the association from dirt to cleanliness, disconnecting it from the functional category of laundry detergents.
Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, New York Creative team: Javier Campopiano, Paul Bichler, Daniel Lobaton, Chad Baker Client: Procter & Gamble Production company: Rattling Stick Director: Traktor
2. Reebok "Belly's gonna get ya" (2000)
In this 2000 Reebok ad, a jogger is shown trying to frantically outrun a beer belly which cunningly uses a number of shortcuts to keep up with him while a soundtrack of intense metal music plays out. The jogger ultimately outsmarts the belly and the camera finishes by focusing on the runner's Reebok trainers, which have "Lose the belly" printed on the sole. This spot won silver at the 2000 Cannes International Advertising Festival. It was voted 10th best ad of all time on the 2005 programme ITV's Best Ever Ads.
Agency: Lowe Lintas Creative team: Brian Turner, Micky Tudor Client: Reebok Production Company: Partizan Director: Traktor
3. Crest "Bulldozer" (2008)
Saatchi & Saatchi New York created TV ads for Crest's whitening toothpaste showcasing that you can get away with anything when you smile. Part of a bigger campaign, the TV spots depicted individuals using smiles to navigate difficult situations. In this one, a demolition worker informs children about a playground being replaced by a power plant, which finishes with the children finally smiling back at him. It won the Gold Film Lion at the Cannes International Advertising Festival in 2008.
Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi New York Creative team: Gerry Graf, Kerry Keenan, Alison Gragnano Client: Procter & Gamble Production Company: Station Film Director: Harold Einstein

Anyway, as it happens, I am somewhat modified in the head– so well played, Facebook algorithms. From the age of about 13 onwards, I've struggled with higher-than-seems-normal levels of stress and anxiety, and while I've mainly come to terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I certainly would not mind being less so. I've had counselling before, and it does assist. Could e-counselling not just re-hinge my mind, however do so without me having to put trousers on and leave the house?
And drawing back from my own (fairly subtle) concerns for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the psychological health issues intensifying amongst under-30s? With cuts to psychological health services truly starting to bite, digitised treatment could be simply the ticket for young people who currently filter nearly every element of their lives– friends, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
Not everybody is entirely convinced that moving mental health care online is the way forward. "You get to understand not only what it's like to talk to the person, but how it feels to be in a space with them.
" I have actually carried out some research into Skype counselling," states London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, "and it's not the 'functional equivalent' of traditional counselling; it's simply not quite the very same thing. It's truly crucial that individuals who participate in it know that it's a various experience from remaining in the space with someone, speaking face-to-face."
" In terms of accessibility, it's a great start and definitely better than absolutely nothing. It'll ideally lead them to eventually showing up in the space.
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some clients towards online programmes instead of face-to-face counselling, a phenomenon that concerns Dr Balick.
If it's rolled out just to conserve money and there aren't vital questions being asked about these services, that's not excellent. Then, I'm always extremely sceptical of people who are either very extremely professional or extremely really versus online psychological health care.
I signed up for 4 very various online mental health services– varying in cost from totally free to , 100 a month– and ran my anxieties through them all, simultaneously, for a week. Here's what I discovered.

What I'm doing here is reviewing my experience of using each mental health service, rather than its effectiveness – since even the most wizard-like therapist isn't going to 'cure' you in simply one week. Okay, cool – let's psychological health!
How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), US company is the business leviathan of the e-counselling video game. They declare to have 500 licensed counsellors working for them, each with a minimum of three years of experience.
After filling out a questionnaire to ascertain what particular flavour of psychological you are, you're paired with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly swap for a different one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then begin an immediate messaged therapy session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, go on and on till one of you eventually passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a complimentary seven-day trial – much like a complimentary Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, except with method more concerns about what your childhood resembled. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for endless message-based counselling and one 'totally free' phone session with your counsellor per month. Yeah, I don't get how it's free either, however whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
Filtering that through immediate messaging might be useful if you find the concept of baring your soul to a complete stranger a bit awks. You won't get the exact same connection just like in person counselling, however the semi-anonymity may make it easier to open up if you've been drinking two bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan's wedding dress every night.
She initially established the scale of my stress and anxiety, what triggers it– social scenarios, fulfilling individuals for the very first time– and after that dived headlong into my fractious youth (divorced moms and dads, stretched familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was quite nosey tbh, however then that's her task, isn't it?
In general, the service is impressively slick. The conversation can be a little stop-starty sometimes, but it was in fact a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I expected. I even got quick responses to messages over the weekend, which was unexpected.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The truth you can edit messages before sending them implies you're unlikely to blurt out something revealing and unguarded in the heat of the minute. So extensive moments of realisation might be tough to come by if you can't get a relaxed circulation going.
Who do I believe it might it be good for?
Anyone with a low-end psychological health problem who's cool with getting counselled in an extremely internet-y, 2016-y way. If you're living under the blackest, bleakest cloud you can possibly imagine and require severe attention (and potentially some meds), most likely isn't for you Most Annoying Commercial Betterhelp
