Genesis 37:10

37:10 When he told his father and his brothers, his father rebuked him, saying, “What is this dream that you had? ¹  Will I, your mother, and your brothers really come and bow down to you?” ² 

Mark 9:15

9:15 When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran ³  at once and greeted him.

Luke 2:19

2:19 But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean. ⁴ 

Luke 2:51

2:51 Then ⁵  he went down with them and came to Nazareth, ⁶  and was obedient ⁷  to them. But ⁸  his mother kept all these things ⁹  in her heart. ¹⁰ 

Luke 9:44

9:44 “Take these words to heart, ¹¹  for the Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.” ¹² 

¹ sn The question What is this dream that you had? expresses Jacob’s dismay at what he perceives to be Joseph’s audacity.

² tn Heb “Coming, will we come, I and your mother and your brothers, to bow down to you to the ground?” The verb “come” is preceded by the infinitive absolute, which lends emphasis. It is as if Jacob said, “You don’t really think we will come…to bow down…do you?”

³ tn Grk The participle προστρέχοντες (prostrecontes) has been translated as a finite verb to make the sequence of events clear in English.

⁴ tn The term συμβάλλουσα (sumballousa) suggests more than remembering. She is trying to put things together here (Josephus, Ant. 2.5.3 [2.72]). The words “what they might mean” have been supplied in the translation to make this clear. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁶ map For location see Map1-D3; Map2-C2; Map3-D5; Map4-C1; Map5-G3.

⁷ tn Or “was submitting.”

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.

⁹ tn Or “all these words.”

¹⁰ sn On the phrase his mother kept all these things in her heart compare Luke 2:19.

¹¹ tn Grk “Place these words into your ears,” an idiom. The meaning is either “do not forget these words” (L&N 29.5) or “Listen carefully to these words” (L&N 24.64). See also Exod 17:14. For a variation of this expression, see Luke 8:8.

¹² 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, “to the power of human beings”). 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.
