Matthew 28:18

28:18 Then Jesus came up and said to them, ¹  “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

John 3:35

3:35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority. ² 

John 5:21-29

5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, ³  so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. ⁴  5:22 Furthermore, the Father does not judge ⁵  anyone, but has assigned ⁶  all judgment to the Son, 5:23 so that all people ⁷  will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, ⁸  the one who hears ⁹  my message ¹⁰  and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, ¹¹  but has crossed over from death to life. 5:25 I tell you the solemn truth, ¹²  a time ¹³  is coming – and is now here – when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself, 5:27 and he has granted the Son ¹⁴  authority to execute judgment, ¹⁵  because he is the Son of Man.

5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, because a time ¹⁶  is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 5:29 and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation. ¹⁷ 

John 13:3

13:3 Because Jesus ¹⁸  knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, ¹⁹  and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

John 17:2

17:2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, ²⁰  so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. ²¹ 

John 17:1

Jesus Prays for the Father to Glorify Him

17:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward ²²  to heaven ²³  and said, “Father, the time ²⁴  has come. Glorify your Son, so that your ²⁵  Son may glorify you –

Colossians 1:25-27

1:25 I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship ²⁶  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete ²⁷  the word of God, 1:26 that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints. 1:27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious ²⁸  riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Ephesians 1:20-23

1:20 This power ²⁹  he exercised ³⁰  in Christ when he raised him ³¹  from the dead and seated him ³²  at his right hand in the heavenly realms ³³  1:21 far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 1:22 And God ³⁴  put ³⁵  all things under Christ’s ³⁶  feet, ³⁷  and he gave him to the church as head over all things. ³⁸  1:23 Now the church is ³⁹  his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. ⁴⁰ 

Philippians 2:10-11

2:10 so that at the name of Jesus

every knee will bow

– in heaven and on earth and under the earth –

2:11 and every tongue confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord

to the glory of God the Father.

Hebrews 2:8-10

2:8 You put all things under his control.” ⁴¹ 

For when he put all things under his control, he left nothing outside of his control. At present we do not yet see all things under his control, ⁴²  2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ⁴³  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ⁴⁴  so that by God’s grace he would experience ⁴⁵  death on behalf of everyone. 2:10 For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, ⁴⁶  in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer ⁴⁷  of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 2:1

Warning Against Drifting Away

2:1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

Hebrews 3:1

Jesus and Moses

3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, ⁴⁸  partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess, ⁴⁹ 

[28:18]  ¹ tn Grk “coming, Jesus spoke to them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn, “saying”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[3:35]  ² tn Grk “has given all things into his hand” (an idiom).

[5:21]  ³ tn Grk “and makes them live.”

[5:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “the Son makes whomever he wants to live.”

[5:22]  ⁵ tn Or “condemn.”

[5:22]  ⁶ tn Or “given,” or “handed over.”

[5:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “all.” The word “people” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for stylistic reasons and for clarity (cf. KJV “all men”).

[5:24]  ⁸ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[5:24]  ⁹ tn Or “obeys.”

[5:24]  ¹⁰ tn Or “word.”

[5:24]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and does not come into judgment.”

[5:25]  ¹² tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[5:25]  ¹³ tn Grk “an hour.”

[5:27]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “him.”

[5:27]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “authority to judge.”

[5:28]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “an hour.”

[5:29]  ¹⁷ tn Or “a resurrection resulting in judgment.”

[13:3]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “Because he knew”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:3]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “had given all things into his hands.”

[17:2]  ²⁰ tn Or “all people”; Grk “all flesh.”

[17:2]  ²¹ tn Grk “so that to everyone whom you have given to him, he may give to them eternal life.”

[17:1]  ²² tn Grk “he raised his eyes” (an idiom).

[17:1]  ²³ tn Or “to the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.

[17:1]  ²⁴ tn Grk “the hour.”

[17:1]  ²⁵ tc The better witnesses (א B C* W 0109 0301) have “the Son” (ὁ υἱός, Jo Juios) here, while the majority (C³ L Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï) read “your Son also” (καὶ ὁ υἱὸς σου, kai Jo Juio" sou), or “your Son” (ὁ υἱὸς σου; A D Θ 0250 1 579 pc lat sy); the second corrector of C has καὶ ὁ υἱός (“the Son also”). The longer readings appear to be predictable scribal expansions and as such should be considered secondary.

[1:25]  ²⁶ tn BDAG 697 s.v. οἰκονομία 1.b renders the term here as “divine office.”

[1:25]  ²⁷ 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.

[1:27]  ²⁸ tn The genitive noun τῆς δόξης (ths doxhs) is an attributive genitive and has therefore been translated as “glorious riches.”

[1:20]  ²⁹ tn Grk “which” (v. 20 is a subordinate clause to v. 19).

[1:20]  ³⁰ tn The verb “exercised” (the aorist of ἐνεργέω, energew) has its nominal cognate in “exercise” in v. 19 (ἐνέργεια, energeia).

[1:20]  ³¹ tn Or “This power he exercised in Christ by raising him”; Grk “raising him.” The adverbial participle ἐγείρας (egeiras) could be understood as temporal (“when he raised [him]”), which would be contemporaneous to the action of the finite verb “he exercised” earlier in the verse, or as means (“by raising [him]”). The participle has been translated here with the temporal nuance to allow for means to also be a possible interpretation. If the translation focused instead upon means, the temporal nuance would be lost as the time frame for the action of the participle would become indistinct.

[1:20]  ³² tc The majority of mss, especially the Western and Byzantine mss (D F G Ψ Ï b r Ambst), have the indicative ἐκάθισεν (ekaqisen, “he seated”) for καθίσας (kaqisa", “when he seated, by seating”). The indicative is thus coordinate with ἐνήργησεν (enhrghsen, “he exercised”) and provides an additional statement to “he exercised his power.” The participle (found in Ì^92vid א A B 0278 33 81 1175 1505 1739 1881 2464 al), on the other hand, is coordinate with ἐγείρας (egeiras) and as such provides evidence of God’s power: He exercised his power by raising Christ from the dead and by seating him at his right hand. As intriguing as the indicative reading is, it is most likely an intentional alteration of the original wording, accomplished by an early “Western” scribe, which made its way in the Byzantine text.

[1:20]  ³³ sn Eph 1:19-20. The point made in these verses is that the power required to live a life pleasing to God is the same power that raised Christ from the dead. For a similar thought, cf. John 15:1-11.

[1:22]  ³⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:22]  ³⁵ tn Grk “subjected.”

[1:22]  ³⁶ tn Grk “his”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:22]  ³⁷ sn An allusion to Ps 8:6.

[1:22]  ³⁸ tn Grk “and he gave him as head over all things to the church.”

[1:23]  ³⁹ tn Grk “which is.” The antecedent of “which” is easily lost in English, though in Greek it is quite clear. In the translation “church” is repeated to clarify the referent.

[1:23]  ⁴⁰ tn Or perhaps, “who is filled entirely.”

[2:8]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “you subjected all things under his feet.”

[2:8]  ⁴² sn The expression all things under his control occurs three times in 2:8. The latter two occurrences are not exactly identical to the Greek text of Ps 8:6 quoted at the beginning of the verse, but have been adapted by the writer of Hebrews to fit his argument.

[2:9]  ⁴³ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

[2:9]  ⁴⁴ tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

[2:9]  ⁴⁵ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).

[2:10]  ⁴⁶ tn Grk “for whom are all things and through whom are all things.”

[2:10]  ⁴⁷ sn The Greek word translated pioneer is used of a “prince” or leader, the representative head of a family. It also carries nuances of “trailblazer,” one who breaks through to new ground for those who follow him. It is used some thirty-five times in the Greek OT and four times in the NT, always of Christ (Acts 3:15; 5:31; Heb 2:10; 12:2).

[3:1]  ⁴⁸ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:1]  ⁴⁹ tn Grk “of our confession.”
