2015DBRP_206 Jer9-10 Ps142 John20


Jeremiah was given perhaps the toughest job of any prophet. In 7:27 God told him,

“Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond.”

Translation note:

10But [YOU/the] LORD [are/is] the only true God.
[You are//He is] the living God and the everlasting King!
The whole earth trembles at [your/his] anger.
The nations cannot stand up to [your/his] wrath.

This is a psalm to pray when discouraged.

Translation notes:

1I cry out to [You, O/the] LORD;
I plead for [your/the LORD’s] mercy.
2I pour out my complaints before [You/him]
and tell [You/him] all my troubles.

Jesus’ death did not mean that he stopped fulfilling Scriptures.

Translation notes:

1Early on Sunday morning,a while it was still dark, Mary [— the woman from the village of Magdalene//Magdalene] came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

3Peter and [I, John,//the other disciple] started out for the tomb.

This is so strange in many languages that it is translated in the first person. It is clear that John wanted that people know that this is an eye-witness account. This change I am making goes through this paragraph.

27Then he said to Thomas, “[Thomas,] Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. [Instead] Believe!”

31But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in [Jesus/him] you will have life [through His power//by the power of his name].
