The Greatest Commandment

12:28 Now ⁹  one of the experts in the law ¹⁰  came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus ¹¹  answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

[6:50]  ¹ tn Grk “he spoke with them, and said to them.”

[7:26]  ² tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:29]  ³ tn Grk “Answering, Peter said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “Peter answered him.”

[8:29]  ⁴ tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[8:29]  sn The term χριστός (cristos) was originally an adjective (“anointed”), developing in LXX into a substantive (“an anointed one”), then developing still further into a technical generic term (“the anointed one”). In the intertestamental period it developed further into a technical term referring to the hoped-for anointed one, that is, a specific individual. In the NT the development starts there (technical-specific), is so used in the gospels, and then develops in Paul to mean virtually Jesus’ last name.

[1:45]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) often has a mildly contrastive force, as here.

[1:45]  ⁸ tn The imperfect verb has been translated iteratively.

[12:28]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[12:28]  ¹⁰ tn Or “One of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[12:28]  ¹¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
