Vessel considered with a cup · dominant
In Matthew 23:25, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the clause contrasting the outside of the cup and the vessel with their inside; the APB renders the verse with “the dish.” In Matthew 23:26, the same form occurs in the instruction to clean the inside before the outside; the APB renders the paired object as “the plate.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the paired vessel as “the dish” in Matthew 23:25 and “the plate” in Matthew 23:26. These renderings show the verse presentation rather than a precise lexical distinction.
