4 sn The word translated change your minds is the same verb used in v. 29 (there translated had a change of heart). Jesus is making an obvious comparison here, in which the religious leaders are viewed as the disobedient son.
5 tn Grk “they say.” The third person plural is used here as an indefinite and translated “someone” (ExSyn 402).
6 tn Or “in the desert.”
7 tn Grk “answer them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
8 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
