Matthew 3:15

Context
3:15 So Jesus replied 1  to him, “Let it happen now, 2  for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John 3  yielded 4  to him.

1 tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

2 tn Grk “Permit now.”

3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Or “permitted him.”
