smurna denotes a substance presented as a gift and combined with aloes in a burial mixture.

The two verses present the term as a material item: offered among treasures in Matthew 2:11 and brought in a mixture with aloes in John 19:39.

   In Matthew 2:11, the accusative singular form occurs in the list of gifts offered from treasures; the APB renders the list with “gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” In John 19:39, the genitive singular form occurs in a mixture with aloes that Nicodemus bears; the APB renders “a mixture of myrrh and aloes.”

   Matthew 2:11John 19:39

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “myrrh” in both verses, placing it among offered gifts in Matthew 2:11 and in a mixture with aloes in John 19:39. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek form.
