Colossians 1:8

1:8 who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

¹tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

²sn The one who ruled before you is a reference to Saul, from whom the kingdom was taken and given to David.

³tn Heb “I was with my heart.”

⁴tn Heb “for the name of.”

⁵tn Heb “and the word of the Lord was [i.e., came] to me saying.”

⁶tn Heb “for my name.”

⁷tn Heb “man of rest.”

⁸tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

⁹sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

¹⁰tn Heb “in his days.”

¹¹tn Heb “I, with my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for a stool of the feet of our God.”

¹²tn Heb “for my name.”

¹³tn Heb “out of all the house of my father to become king over all Israel permanently.”

¹⁴tn Or “for.”

¹⁵tn Heb “and among the sons of my father he desired to make me king over all Israel.”

¹⁶tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁷tn The verbs in Greek are plural here, indicating that Jesus is not answering the mother but has turned his attention directly to the two disciples.

¹⁸tc Most mss (C W 33 Ï, as well as some versional and patristic authorities) in addition have “or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” But this is surely due to a recollection of the fuller version of this dominical saying found in Mark 10:38. The same mss also have the Lord’s response, “and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized” in v. 23, again due to the parallel in Mark 10:39. The shorter reading, in both v. 22 and v. 23, is to be preferred both because it better explains the rise of the other reading and is found in superior witnesses (א B D L Z Θ 085 Ë^1,13 pc lat, as well as other versional and patristic authorities).

¹⁹sn No more naïve words have ever been spoken as those found here coming from James and John, “We are able.” They said it with such confidence and ease, yet they had little clue as to what they were affirming. In the next sentence Jesus confirms that they will indeed suffer for his name.

²⁰tn Grk “agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day.”
