The Arrival of the Son of Man

Matius 26:29

26:29 I ¹¹  tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit ¹²  of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

[1:19]  ¹ tn Grk “husband.” See following note for discussion.

[1:19]  ² tn Or “send her away.”

[1:19]  sn In the Jewish context, “full betrothal was so binding that its breaking required a certificate of divorce, and the death of one party made the other a widow or widower (m. Ketub. 1:2; m. Sota 1:5; m. Git. passim…)” (R. H. Gundry, Matthew: A Commentary on his Literary and Theological Art, 21).

[7:4]  ³ tn Grk “how will you say?”

[8:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “And behold, a leper came.” 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).

[8:2]  sn The ancient term for leprosy covers a wider array of conditions than what we call leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45-46).

[8:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “a leper approaching, bowed low before him, saying.”

[8:2]  ⁶ tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.

[9:26]  ⁷ tn For the translation of τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην (thn ghn ekeinhn) as “that region,” see L&N 1.79.

[24:29]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:29]  ⁹ tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

[24:29]  ¹⁰ sn An allusion to Isa 13:10, 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.

[26:29]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:29]  ¹² tn Grk “produce” (“the produce of the vine” is a figurative expression for wine).
