NETBible

“I¹ tell you, whoever acknowledges² me before men,³ the Son of Man will also acknowledge⁴ before God’s angels.

NET Notes

¹tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

²tn Or “confesses.”

³tn Although this is a generic reference and includes both males and females, in this context “men” has been retained because of the wordplay with the Son of Man and the contrast with the angels. The same is true of the occurrence of “men” in v. 9.

⁴sn This acknowledgment will take place at the judgment. Of course, the Son of Man is a reference to Jesus as it has been throughout the Gospel. On Jesus and judgment, see 22:69; Acts 10:42-43; 17:31.
