1 | Which rendering of Luke 2: | Luke 2:14 | Ray | 74247 | ||
Hi Tim, While you have your manuscript open to that passage would you look at verse 16 also? The NKJ has "the Babe lying in a manger" and the NASB has "the babe as He lay in the manger". From the heart, Ray |

2 | Which rendering of Luke 2: | Luke 2:14 | Morant61 | 74285 | ||
Greetings Ray! The Greek of Luke 2:16 literally says: "And they came after hurrying and they found the and Mary and the Joseph and the Baby lying in the manger." Both of the translations you listed are accurate, but I would prefer the NKJ version simply because it adds less to the text. There is no explicit pronoun 'He' in the verse. Since the verb 'lying' is a participle, there really isn't an implied pronoun either. The particple is basically a verbal adjective. It simply describes the Baby. What kind of Baby? Which Baby? In this case, the Baby lying in the manger. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
