Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 15

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 15:37
  
  large baskets: Or “provision baskets.” The Greek word sphy·risʹ used here seems to denote a type of basket that is larger than the ones used on an earlier occasion when Jesus fed about 5,000 men. (See study note on Mt 14:20.) The same Greek word is used for the “basket” in which Paul was lowered to the ground through an opening in the wall of Damascus.—See study note on Ac 9:25.
