Mark 1:11

1:11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son; ¹  in you I take great delight.” ² 

¹ tn Grk “my beloved Son,” or “my Son, the beloved [one].” The force of ἀγαπητός (agaphtos) is often “pertaining to one who is the only one of his or her class, but at the same time is particularly loved and cherished” (L&N 58.53; cf. also BDAG 7 s.v. 1).

² tn Or “with you I am well pleased.”
