Discovery Box| (0.31) | (Luk 1:59) | 3 tn This could be understood as a conative imperfect, expressing an unrealized desire (“they were trying to name him”). It has been given more of a voluntative nuance in the translation. |
| (0.31) | (Mar 15:25) | 1 tn Grk “It was the third hour.” This time would have been approximate, and could refer to the beginning of the process, some time before Jesus was lifted on the cross. |
