The Parable of the Two Sons

28:7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. He ¹¹  is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you!”

[11:27]  ¹ sn This verse has been noted for its conceptual similarity to teaching in John’s Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined.

[11:27]  ² tn Or “wishes”; or “intends”; or “plans” (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.

[13:54]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[21:19]  ⁸ tn Grk “one fig tree.”

[21:25]  sn The question is whether John’s ministry was of divine or human origin.

[21:28]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[28:7]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And behold he.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
