Genesis 22:3

22:3 Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. ¹  He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out ²  for the place God had spoken to him about.

Matthew 21:28-29

The Parable of the Two Sons

21:28 “What ³  do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 21:29 The boy answered, ⁴  ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart ⁵  and went.

Matthew 21:2

21:2 telling them, “Go to the village ahead of you. ⁶  Right away you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

Matthew 4:11

4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels ⁷  came and began ministering to his needs.

[22:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”

[22:3]  ² tn Heb “he arose and he went.”

[21:28]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here the referent (“the boy”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁵ tn The Greek text reads here μεταμέλομαι (metamelomai): “to change one’s mind about something, with the probable implication of regret” (L&N 31.59); cf. also BDAG 639 s.v. The idea in this context involves more than just a change of mind, for the son regrets his initial response. The same verb is used in v. 32.

[21:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “the village lying before you” (BDAG 530 s.v. κατέναντι 2.b).

[4:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “and behold, angels.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
