Matius 21:28

The Parable of the Two Sons

21:28 “What ¹  do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’

Matius 26:39

26:39 Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, ²  “My Father, if possible, ³  let this cup ⁴  pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

[21:28]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:39]  ² tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:39]  ³ tn Grk “if it is possible.”

[26:39]  ⁴ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.
