27:12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him ¹  and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” 27:13 So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, ²  my son! Just obey me! ³  Go and get them for me!”

Matthew 10:37

Acts 4:19

4:19 But Peter and John replied, ⁴  “Whether it is right before God to obey ⁵  you rather than God, you decide,

² tn Heb “upon me your curse.”

³ tn Heb “only listen to my voice.”

⁴ tn Grk “answered and said to them.”

⁵ tn Grk “hear,” but the idea of “hear and obey” or simply “obey” is frequently contained in the Greek verb ἀκούω (akouw; see L&N 36.14).
