10:20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Matius 21:29

21:29 The boy answered, ¹  ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart ²  and went.

Matius 27:18

27:18 (For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.) ³ 

[21:29]  ¹ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here the referent (“the boy”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ² tn The Greek text reads here μεταμέλομαι (metamelomai): “to change one’s mind about something, with the probable implication of regret” (L&N 31.59); cf. also BDAG 639 s.v. The idea in this context involves more than just a change of mind, for the son regrets his initial response. The same verb is used in v. 32.
