All three supplied Bibles put it at 10:35, not the printed 10:25. LUK 17:34 (exposition): The distinctive two-in-one-bed/one-taken/other-left action is actually recalled and interpreted as the Son's separation in judgment. Matthew's field saying is not substituted for the bed. MAT 24:41 (exposition): The two women grinding at the mill/one-taken/one-left saying is actually recalled and incorporated into the author's explicit judging/separating interpretation. The mill detail is in all three Matthew 24:41 comparisons; unique textual provenance is not asserted. LUK 17:35 (citation): Luke 17:35 also has the two-grinding/one-taken/other-left saying, immediately after the admitted bed scene. It is a verified parallel mention of the actual quoted action, not an automatic admission of the next verse or proof that the mill wording came exclusively from Luke. MAT 13:30 (exposition): The reapers gathering tares first, binding them in bundles to burn, and gathering wheat into the barn are specifically recalled and applied to end-time judicial separation. The source's added 'unquenchable' description is disclosed rather than claimed as modern verse-30 wording. MAT 25:34 (exposition): Calling the lambs into the kingdom prepared for them is specifically recalled and interpreted as the Son's welcoming of believers. It matches the prepared-kingdom invitation in verse 34; the source does not quote a right-hand positioning sentence. MAT 25:41 (exposition): Sending the goats into eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels is specifically recalled and interpreted as the condemnation of voluntary disobedience. The quoted prepared-fire words belong to verse 41, not merely the note's verse-33 header. LUK 2:34 (exposition): The fall/ruin and resurrection/rising of many is explicitly recalled in a rhetorical question, then explained as the opposed outcomes for unbelievers and believers. This is the distinctive Simeon saying, not an invented general resurrection reference. MAT 10:15 (exposition): The source specifically names both Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgment-day comparison, and applies the worse outcome to unbelief. All three Matthew comparisons have both names; this is the fullest wording match, without claiming unique original Gospel provenance. LUK 10:12 (citation): The originally noted Luke verse has the more-tolerable-for-Sodom comparison on that day. Retain it as a genuine partial parallel verse mention; it lacks Gomorrah in all three local versions and cannot be described as the complete source wording. MAT 5:45 (exposition): The sun on evil/good and rain on just/unjust words are actually quoted and explained as the Father's equal providential care and provision for people with free choice. {\"original_note_id\": \"cite_note-230\", \"printed_note\": \"Matt. x. 25.\", \"correction_kind\": \"wrong_verse_number\", \"incorrect_locator\": {\"book\": \"MAT\", \"chapter\": 10, \"verse\": 25}, \"corrected_locator\": {\"book\": \"MAT\", \"chapter\": 10, \"verse\": 35}, \"basis\": \"The actual quoted family-division sentence matches 10:35 in WEB/ASV/DRA.
