21:15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she ⁴  said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard Naboth the Jezreelite refused to sell you for silver, for Naboth is no longer alive; he’s dead.”

Luke 13:34

John 10:31-33

10:31 The Jewish leaders ²²  picked up rocks again to stone him to death. 10:32 Jesus said to them, ²³  “I have shown you many good deeds ²⁴  from the Father.

Colossians 1:25

1:25 I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship ⁴¹  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete ⁴²  the word of God,

[21:13]  ¹ tn Heb “led him.”

[21:13]  ² tn Heb “and they stoned him with stones and he died.”

[21:14]  ³ tn Heb “Naboth was stoned and he died.” So also in v. 15.

[21:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “Jezebel”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“she”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[21:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “if it is good in your eyes.”

[21:2]  ⁶ tc The Old Greek translation includes the following words: “And it will be mine as a garden of herbs.”

[1:21]  ⁷ tn The words “if a decision is not made” are added for clarification.

[1:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “lies down with his fathers.”

[1:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “I and my son Solomon.” The order has been reversed in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[1:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “will be guilty”; NASB “considered offenders”; TEV “treated as traitors.”

[21:35]  ¹¹ sn The image of the tenants mistreating the owner’s slaves pictures the nation’s rejection of the prophets and their message.

[23:37]  ¹² sn The double use of the city’s name betrays intense emotion.

[23:37]  ¹³ tn Although the opening address (“Jerusalem, Jerusalem”) is direct (second person), the remainder of this sentence in the Greek text is third person (“who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her”). The following sentences then revert to second person (“your… you”), so to keep all this consistent in English, the third person pronouns in the present verse were translated as second person (“you who kill… sent to you”).

[23:37]  ¹⁴ sn How often I have longed to gather your children. Jesus, like a lamenting prophet, speaks for God here, who longed to care tenderly for Israel and protect her.

[23:37]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[23:37]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “you were not willing.”

[13:34]  ¹⁷ sn The double use of the city’s name betrays intense emotion.

[13:34]  ¹⁸ tn Although the opening address (“Jerusalem, Jerusalem”) is direct (second person), the remainder of this sentence in the Greek text is third person (“who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her”). The following sentences then revert to second person (“your… you”), so to keep all this consistent in English, the third person pronouns in the present verse were translated as second person (“you who kill… sent to you”).

[13:34]  ¹⁹ sn How often I have longed to gather your children. Jesus, like a lamenting prophet, speaks for God here, who longed to care tenderly for Israel and protect her.

[13:34]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[13:34]  ²¹ tn Grk “you were not willing.”

[10:31]  ²² tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders. See the notes on the phrases “Jewish people” in v. 19 and “Jewish leaders” in v. 24.

[10:32]  ²³ tn Grk “Jesus answered them.”

[10:32]  ²⁴ tn Or “good works.”

[10:33]  ²⁵ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” Here again the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders. See the notes on the phrase “Jewish people” in v. 19 and “Jewish leaders” in vv. 24, 31.

[10:33]  ²⁶ tn Grk “answered him.”

[10:33]  ²⁷ tn Or “good work.”

[10:33]  ²⁸ sn This is the first time the official charge of blasphemy is voiced openly in the Fourth Gospel (although it was implicit in John 8:59).

[10:33]  ²⁹ tn Grk “and because.”

[10:33]  ³⁰ tn Grk “you, a man, make yourself to be God.”

[7:58]  ³¹ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.

[7:58]  ³² sn They began to stone him. The irony of the scene is that the people do exactly what the speech complains about in v. 52.

[7:58]  ³³ tn Or “outer garments.”

[7:59]  ³⁴ tn Grk “And they.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.

[14:19]  ³⁵ sn Antioch was a city in Pisidia about 90 mi (145 km) west northwest of Lystra.

[14:19]  ³⁶ sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) north of Lystra. Note how Jews from other cities were chasing Paul (2 Cor 11:4-6; Gal 2:4-5; Acts 9:16).

[14:19]  ³⁷ tn The participle πείσαντες (peisante") is taken temporally (BDAG 791 s.v. πείθω 1.c).

[14:19]  ³⁸ tn Grk “stoning Paul they dragged him.” The participle λιθάσαντες (liqasante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:2]  ³⁹ tn Or “who would not believe.”

[14:2]  ⁴⁰ tn Or “embittered their minds” (Grk “their souls”). BDAG 502 s.v. κακόω 2 has “make angry, embitter τὰς ψυχάς τινων κατά τινος poison the minds of some persons against another Ac 14:2.”

[1:25]  ⁴¹ tn BDAG 697 s.v. οἰκονομία 1.b renders the term here as “divine office.”

[1:25]  ⁴² tn See BDAG 828 s.v. πληρόω 3. The idea here seems to be that the apostle wants to “complete the word of God” in that he wants to preach it to every person in the known world (cf. Rom 15:19). See P. T. O’Brien, Colossians, Philemon (WBC), 82.
