1 tc ‡ Most later 2 tn Or “justice was denied him”; Grk “his justice was taken away.” 3 tn Or “family; or “origin.” The meaning of γενεά (genea) in the quotation is uncertain; BDAG 192 s.v. γενεά 4 suggests “family history.” sn The rhetorical question suggests the insensitivity of this generation for its act against God’s servant, who was slain unjustly as he was silent. 4 tn Grk “is taken away.” The present tense here was translated as a past tense to maintain consistency with the rest of the quotation. 5 sn A quotation from Isa 53:7-8. |
