Markus 11:3
Konteks11:3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it 1 and will send it back here soon.’”
Markus 11:25
Konteks11:25 Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will 2 also forgive you your sins.”
[11:3] 1 sn The custom called angaria allowed the impressment of animals for service to a significant figure.
[11:25] 2 tn Although the Greek subjunctive mood, formally required in a subordinate clause introduced by ἵνα ({ina), is traditionally translated by an English subjunctive (e.g., “may,” so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV), changes in the use of the subjunctive in English now result in most readers understanding such a statement as indicating permission (“may” = “has permission to”) or as indicating uncertainty (“may” = “might” or “may or may not”). Thus a number of more recent translations render such instances by an English future tense (“will,” so TEV, CEV, NLT, NASB 1995 update). That approach has been followed here.
