AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 21:29 "And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he regretted it and changed his mind and went. |
Bible Question: Why does the NASB reverse the order of verses 29-30 and change the reading of verse 31 from what all other translations have? |
Bible Answer: Hi berrybev, For a previous discussion on your question click on Ask Questions and type in Matthew 21:29. Or, for one of my posts on that thread type in 106942 for a "Quick Search". 1) In my 1977 copyright NASB Study Bible the marginal note for verse 29 reads [Some mss. read "I will not"; yet he afterward regretted and went]. For verse 30 it has the marginal note [Some mess. read "I will"; and he did not go]. For verse 31 in this 1977 copyright there is no marginal note to inform us of what these manuscripts contain, that is, whether they say "first" or "latter". The important thing is to realize that the readings of all the manuscripts will connect the correct answer with the correct action of the son. And the resultant condemnation of the chief priests and elders of the people for not changing of their minds, repenting, regretting is there for all the manuscripts and translations in verse 32.
