NETBible

He replied, “What is impossible¹ for mere humans² is possible for God.”

NET Notes

¹sn The term impossible is in the emphatic position in the Greek text. God makes the impossible possible.

²tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποις (anqrwpois) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NASB 1995 update, “people”). Because of the contrast here between mere mortals and God (“impossible for men…possible for God”) the phrase “mere humans” has been used in the translation.
