Discovery Box| (0.44) | (Mar 2:10) | 1 sn Now Jesus put the two actions together. The walking of the man would be proof (so that you may know) that his sins were forgiven and that God had worked through Jesus (i.e., the Son of Man). |
| (0.44) | (Mar 1:25) | 3 sn The command Come out of him! is an example of Jesus’ authority (see v. 22). Unlike other exorcists, Jesus did not use magical incantations nor did he invoke anyone else’s name. |
| (0.44) | (Mat 26:28) | 2 sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era. |
| (0.44) | (Mat 19:8) | 1 tc A few significant witnesses (א Φ a b c mae) have the name “Jesus” here, but it is almost certainly not original. Nevertheless, for clarity’s sake, “Jesus” is added in the translation. |
| (0.44) | (Mat 9:6) | 1 sn Now Jesus put the two actions together. The walking of the man would be proof (so that you may know) that his sins were forgiven and that God had worked through Jesus (i.e., the Son of Man). |
| (0.44) | (Mat 8:27) | 3 sn Jesus’ authority over creation raised a question for the disciples about his identity (What sort of person is this?). This verse shows that although the disciples followed Jesus, their understanding of who he was at this point was incomplete. |
| (0.44) | (Jam 2:1) | 4 tn Grk “our Lord Jesus Christ of glory.” Here δόξης (doxēs) has been translated as an attributive genitive. |
| (0.44) | (1Th 4:14) | 2 tn Grk “those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.” It is possible that “through Jesus” describes “bring,” but this gives the unlikely double reference, “through Jesus God will bring them with Jesus.” Instead it describes their “falling sleep,” since through him their death is only sleep and not the threat it once was. Also Christians are those whose total existence—life and death—is in and through and for Christ (1 Cor 8:6). |
| (0.44) | (Act 24:24) | 4 tn Or “Messiah Jesus”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.” |
| (0.44) | (Act 24:5) | 5 sn The sect of the Nazarenes is a designation for followers of Jesus the Nazarene, that is, Christians. |
| (0.44) | (Act 22:18) | 1 tn Or “Jesus”; Grk “him.” The referent (the Lord, cf. v. 19) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.44) | (Act 3:15) | 3 sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him. |
| (0.44) | (Act 3:13) | 3 sn Has glorified. Jesus is alive, raised and active, as the healing illustrates so dramatically how God honors him. |
| (0.44) | (Joh 20:31) | 4 tn Or “Jesus is the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”). |
| (0.44) | (Joh 19:11) | 3 sn Because Pilate had no authority over Jesus except what had been given to him from God, the one who handed Jesus over to Pilate was guilty of greater sin. This does not absolve Pilate of guilt; it simply means his guilt was less than those who handed Jesus over to him because he was not acting against Jesus out of deliberate hatred or calculated malice, like the Jewish religious authorities. These were thereby guilty of greater sin. |
| (0.44) | (Joh 17:3) | 3 tn Or “and Jesus the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”). |
| (0.44) | (Joh 12:23) | 1 tn Grk “Jesus answered them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legōn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here. |
| (0.44) | (Joh 12:2) | 1 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity and to conform with contemporary English style. |
| (0.44) | (Joh 6:56) | 2 sn Resides in me, and I in him. Note how in John 6:54 eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood produces eternal life and the promise of resurrection at the last day. Here the same process of eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood leads to a relationship of mutual indwelling (resides in me, and I in him). This suggests strongly that for the author (and for Jesus) the concepts of ‘possessing eternal life’ and of ‘residing in Jesus’ are virtually interchangeable. |
| (0.44) | (Joh 4:8) | 2 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author, indicating why Jesus asked the woman for a drink. |
