Matthew 17:22

When ¹  they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. ² 

Mt 16:21; Mt 20:17,18; Mt 24:10; Mt 26:16,46; Mr 8:31; Mr 9:30,31; Mr 10:33,34; Lu 9:22,44; Lu 18:31-34; Lu 24:6,7,26,46; Ac 7:52; 1Co 11:23

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn The plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) is considered by some to be used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NRSV “into human hands”; TEV, CEV “to people”). However, because this can be taken as a specific reference to the group responsible for Jesus’ arrest, where it is unlikely women were present (cf. Matt 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:2-12), the word “men” has been retained in the translation. There may also be a slight wordplay with “the Son of Man” earlier in the verse.
