Wow! I'm stunned, no, one of the positive words. The Mattathias
reference is 1 Maccabees 2:68, where the Greek is ANTAPODOTE (=
ANTI-APO-DO-TE), whereas in Matthew it is APODOTE. But the allusion is
clear (but has been missed by Nestle-Aland and the UBS Greek NT) - but
of course Mattathias was talking of revenge, but Jesus of paying one's
taxes.
