Please turn your attention to this passage of scripture in NASB2020: Mt10.35-36. I think it requires revision. See below.

Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

International Standard Version. (2011). (Lk 2:52). Yorba Linda, CA: ISV Foundation.

    Is not this explained by this statement from the foreword?

    "SMALL CAPS in the New Testament are used in the text to indicate Old Testament quotations or references to Old Testament texts"

    This has been a feature in the NASB from the first edition, I believe

    OK Greg, really rub it in. But, answer me this; why is "WILL BE" large caps?

    My guess is that that font doesn't support italicized small caps.

    My guess is that that font doesn't support italicized small caps.

    Because Mt 10 and Micah 7 (that MT quotes) are both verbless clauses. "are" in Micah and "will be" in Matthew are both provided for readability. provided words are usually italicized, quoted words are small caps - SineNomine is on to something about the font not being capable of producing italicized small caps.

    I can live with that explanation. But, it still looks funny!
