   And Pharisees came up and asked him whether it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife, testing him.

   ⸀Καὶ⸀ἐπηρώτωναὐτὸνεἰἔξεστινἀνδρὶγυναῖκαἀπολῦσαι,πειράζοντεςαὐτόν.

   BSB: Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.

   • Notecompared with BSB: The draft has 'whether it is lawful' while the BSB has 'Is it lawful.' The Greek «εἰ ἔξεστιν» can be rendered either as an indirect question ('whether it is lawful') or a direct question ('Is it lawful'). The draft's choice to render it as indirect question after 'asked him' is grammatically defensible, though it changes the narrative style slightly from direct to indirect discourse.

    People were bringing little children to him so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

    • Checkcompared with BSB: The Greek «ἅψηται» (G681) means 'touch' or 'lay hands on,' not just 'touch.' The BSB makes explicit 'for Him to place His hands on them,' which better captures the context of blessing. The draft's 'touch' is less specific and may miss this nuance.
