What does Clarke say?
From (the) definite article to pronoun
Well, okay. But whose left? Is it Jesus's left or the son's left?Matt 20:21 KJV wrote:. . . . Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
What does Clarke say?
Sure enough, Smith took Clarke's advice and changed it to a pronoun. It didn't take a revelation. It's just copying what the other person is saying and then calling it the "Joseph Smith Translation":Adam Clark Commentary wrote:One on thy right hand, and the other on (Thy) left - I have added the pronoun in the latter clause on the authority of almost every MS. and version of repute.
Matt 20:20 JST wrote:. . . . Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
