Footnotes

  1. 124 Or “to our forefathers”; Grk “the fathers.”
  2. 125 Grk “that this”; the referent (the promise mentioned in the previous verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This promise refers to the promise of a Savior through the seed (descendants) of David that is proclaimed as fulfilled (Rom 1:1–7).
  3. 126 Or “by resurrecting.” The participle ἀναστήσας (anastēsas) is taken as instrumental here. By raising (i.e., by resurrection) tells how this promise came to be realized, though again the wordplay also points to his presence in history through this event (see the note on “raised up” in v. ).
  4. 127 You are my Son. The key to how the quotation is used is the naming of Jesus as “Son” to the Father. The language is that of kingship, as Ps 2 indicates. Here is the promise about what the ultimate Davidic heir would be.
  5. 128 Grk “I have begotten you.” The traditional translation for γεγέννηκα (gegennēka, “begotten”) is misleading to the modern English reader because it is no longer in common use. Today one speaks of “fathering” a child in much the same way speakers of English formerly spoke of “begetting a child.” A quotation from Ps 2:7.
