Matthew 24:48-49

24:48 But if ¹  that evil slave should say to himself, ²  ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 24:49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards,

[24:48]  ¹ tn In the Greek text this is a third class condition that for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition (note the translation of the following verb “should say”).

[24:48]  ² tn Grk “should say in his heart.”
