Omens on the one hand
1. Omens on the one hand
This content is being developed.
2. Sets: Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive
Items in a set can be partitioned into categories in many ways.
Given a set:
There is a question or relation.
There are answers or equivalence sets (without an ordering)
Mutually exclusive means that "yes" or a "no" are distinct and cannot be both at the same time.
Collectively exhaustive means that everything must be either a "yes" or a "no". There are no other possibilities.
3. Handy saying
English saying:
... on the one hand
... on the other hand ...
Discuss and explain the following.
Is this saying mutually exclusive?
Is this saying collectively exhaustive?
Is there an ordering on the "hands" such that one must come before the other?
4. Matthew 22:14 Clamor calling
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
The English word
"clamor" comes, through French, from the Latin word
"clamor" ≈ "shout, cry" which comes from the Latin word
"clamo" ≈ "cry out, complain" which is related to the ancient Greek word
"καλέω" ≈ "call". The "
cl" in Latin changed into the "
ll" in Spanish as in
"llamar" ≈ "summon, call".
English: What is it called?
Spanish: ¿Cómo se llama?
Why do so many people who speak Spanish want others to join them and look at alpacas?
They are always saying, ¿Cómo se llama? (Come (and) see the llama!)
5. Omens on the one hand
In general, Latin-based words appear in parts of the
GNT (Greek New Testament) where there are interactions with the Roman authorities such as Pilate.
The English word
"omen" comes from the Latin word
"omen" ≈ "foreboding, omen" which comes from the Old Latin word
"osmen" ≈ "foreboding, omen".
The ancient Greek pair of words
"ο μεν" ≈ "that on the one hand" usually followed by
"δε" ≈ "but (on the other hand)". These two exact Greek words appear
5 times in Matthew, always spoken by Jesus.
Is there an important ordering on the hands listed? The separation is important.
Some of the apparent play on words used by Jesus include some Latin words as a cross-language play on words. Where these appear, the context often has to do with the power of Rome and the (later) Catholic church.
[come see (the) llama, ocean horror show]
6. Stuck in the middle with you
It is best to be (mentally
glued) or
stuck in the middle with Jesus as a little child. And, if
both of you agree on something, it will be done.
Song:
Stuck in the middle with you.
Chorus:
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
In what year was the song released?
1972 on an album. 1973. as a single.
How should you defend yourself against an angry group of clowns?
Go for the juggler! But if one of them is nice to you, hold the door. It's a nice jester.
The song "
Stuck in the middle with you" (peaking at position 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100) was written by Scottish musicians Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan and performed by their band
Stealers Wheel in a parody of the style of Bob Dylan.
7. On the one hand
8. Usage in Matthew
9. Verses in Matthew
In the five verses in Matthew, ask yourself the following questions.
1. Is the
"on the one hand" and
"but on the other hand" clearly apparent in the English translation? Does the order matter?
If so, are you thinking bottom-up (locking oneself into forward-chaining thinking) and not top-down (which allows order reversal using backward-chaining thinking).
Bottom-up A then B.
Top down: B if A.
2. Does the
"omen", as in
"foreboding", play on words fit the context?
Since the
TR adds one more, it can be determined if that change breaks the model in any way.
10. Matthew 9:37 Omens
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
Latin "omen" ≈ "foreboding, omen".
Greek "ο μεν" ≈ "that on the one hand".
Might there me an
"omen" here (on the one hand)?
Greek:
... on the one hand harvest many but on the other hand ... the workers [oath-takers] are few [oh wolves]
Might an
"omen" be that later, during the Latin influence, definitions/mountains were moved, leaven mixed in, etc., to obscure the meaning of this verse?
11. Matthew 9:37-38 Reflexive harvest
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
"θέρμη" ≈ "heat".
"θερμός" ≈ "warm, hot, boiling".
"θερισμός" ≈ "harvest".
Related English words include "
thermal", "
thermos", "
thermodynamics", etc.
In the
GNT, the Greek word for
"harvest" has a double meaning based as a
reflexive (self-referential) relationship. Apparently, the harvest at the end of the age could be warm too (and not global warming). When exactly is the
"harvest"?
12. Matthew 9:35-37 Shepherd for sheep
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [kjv]
9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. [kjv]
9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
The observation that the people were as "
sheep" with no "
shepherd" is a conclusion of Matthew and not stated by Jesus. There are many instances of disciples coming to conclusions that do not appear to have conclusive evidence. Why might Matthew have reached this conclusion? What are the primary purposes of a "
shepherd" for "
sheep"?

14. Sheep and shepherds
Google Co-Pilot AI query:
What were the primary threats to sheep in Bible times? (as of 2026-06-05)
Main result:
In biblical times, sheep were a vital part of the economy and daily life in the ancient Near East, providing meat, milk, wool, and hides. Because they were domesticated and often grazed in open, unfenced areas, they faced multiple and constant threats.
Bullet points;
1. Wild predators
2. Human raiders and thieves
3. Environmental and natural hazards
4. Shepherding challenges
5. Economic and social vulnerability
15. Matthew 9:35-37 Shepherds for sheep
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [kjv]
9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. [kjv]
9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
The observation that the people were as "
sheep" with no "
shepherd" is a conclusion of Matthew and not stated by Jesus. There are many instances of disciples coming to conclusions that do not appear to have conclusive evidence. Why might Matthew have reached this conclusion? What are the primary purposes of a "
shepherd" for "
sheep"?
16. Matthew 24:3 Cooperative effort
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [kjv]
καθημενου δε αυτου επι του ορους των ελαιων προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται κατ ιδιαν λεγοντες ειπον ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον της σης παρουσιας και συντελειας του αιωνος [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"συντέλεια" ≈ "cooperative effort, partnership" and comes from two Greek words.
"συν" ≈ "together"
"τέλος" ≈ "end, purpose, complete".
Paraphrase:
... and the cooperative effort (of the religious elite with the oppressed faithful) into the ages.
This is vastly different than the
"end" of the
"world". The
TR adds the Greek for "
of the" before
"end" which is not needed using the Greek word meaning.
17. Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 KP2 Parable of the wheat and tares
The parable of the wheat and the tares provides a
fault tolerant and realistic approach to the
tolerance paradox which, as a simple form of the Russell Paradox, has no logical solution but occurs often in society.
Parable: (encoded with code words)
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [kjv]
13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [kjv]
Explained: (decoded code words)
13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [kjv]
ο δε εχθρος ο σπειρας αυτα εστιν ο διαβολος ο δε θερισμος συντελεια αιωνος εστιν οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν [gnt]
18. Matthew
19. Matthew 13:8 On many hands
Matthew 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. [kjv]
αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
Are the numbers a time sequence of events? Could these be happening at the same time (e.g., in different places or hands). Does using the Greek meaning of
"on the one hand" change usual meaning of the verse?
... creates/makes carries fruit ...
... on the one hand 100 fold ...
... on the other hand 60 fold ...
... on another hand 30 fold ...
Does the play on words with Latin "
omen" have any meaning here? With the modified meaning (i.e., declarative statements), does it matter that Mark reverses the order of the numbers?
20. Matthew 13:7-8 Thorns and good ground
Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: [kjv]
αλλα δε επεσεν επι τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα [gnt]
13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. [kjv]
αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
Can a seed be "choked"? (not an artichoke seed)
Can "thorns" "choke" a growing seed?
For fun, someone once tried to strangle me.
I guess the choke was on me.
Note the decreasing productivity of the seeds:
100 then
60 then
30. Why?
21. Matthew 13:23 Good ground
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
Greek:
the one then (that) on the good [raca] ground (is) seeded is the one (who) the reasoning hears (with understanding) and understands then as (he) carries fruit and (he) makes/creates (he) on the one hand hundred [according to it - reasoning] (he) on the other hand sixty [shadow - short (speer)] (he) on another hand thirty [not three/tree - short (speer)].
How did the Greek change from attributes about the
one (third person singular) to a generalization about
many (some)? For some it is then a time-sequence of events for different groups.
22. Matthew 13:23 Good ground
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
There are no specific units on the numbers. To what does each number refer? Is it the same or different attributes?
The
"good" [raca] produces three variations of
"carried-fruit" (in the same person).
100. [according to it] : "
understanding" of the "
reasoning".
60: [shadow - short (speer)] : not trying to be first or get recognition.
30: [not three/tree - short (speer)] : not part of a tree - saying raca to the tree.
23. Matthew 13:23 Latin hands
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
qui vero in terra bona seminatus est hic est qui audit verbum et intellegit et fructum adfert et facit aliud quidem centum aliud autem sexaginta porro aliud triginta [v]
The Latin word
"aliud" ≈ "other, another, else, different" (nominative/accusative/vocative neuter singular) of
"alius" ≈ "other, another, else, different". It is sometimes used as the
"on the one hand" and
"on the other hand"
24. Matthew 13:23 Wessex and Wycliffe
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
… gode land … word … waestme bringð … sum hund-fealdne. sum sixtig-fealdne. sum þrittig-fealdne. [wes]
… sowun … good loond… herith … word… vnderstondeth… bryngith … fruyt… summe … hundrid fold… anothir sixti fold… another thritti fold. [wy]
25. Matthew 13:23 Word bearing
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
What is the difference between the following?
English: "bring forth fruit". The older meaning of "bear" in English is that of "carrying".
Greek: "carry fruit". It must be inferred from context from where and how the fruit came into being.
The
ancient Greek word
"καρποφορέω" ≈ "carry fruit, fertile, bear fruit".
The
modern Greek word
"καρποφορέω" (kar-po-fo-REH-o) ≈ "bear fruit" which is a narrowed meaning from what was decided for the meaning of the word in the
GNT.
26. Matthew 13:23 Word bearing
27. Matthew 13:23 Gematria
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
… ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
Greek, like Hebrew, associated letters with numbers. The study of this is called
gematria. The most famous instance of gematria is the
666 from Revelation 13.
100 = "Ρ" or "ρ" or "rho".
60 = "Ξ" or "ξ" or "ski".
30 = "Λ" or "λ" or "lambda".
Any gematria meaning of
100,
60 and
30 is not clear but may indicate some interesting connections.
Keep in mind that the historical connection of this parable is that of the time of Jesus in Judea where the Romans ruled and had let Herod (and descendent's) have some local rule.
28. Gematria of decreasing yields
29. Matthew and Mark
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [kjv]
ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα [gnt]
Mark 4:8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. [kjv]
και αλλα επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανομενα και εφερεν εις εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον [gnt]
Mark repeats some of what Matthew writes but also changes and adds some things. Many details in Matthew are not in Mark (or Luke). Note the order of the numbers. Discuss:
Who is right? Does it matter? Who copied from whom?
How might this discrepancy have arisen?
30. Matthew 22:5 Hands
31. Matthew 22:5 Word play
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [kjv]
οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ος μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ος δε επι την εμποριαν αυτου [gnt]
[into vs. on]
32. Matthew 22:8 Many hands
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι [gnt]
Does the
"on the one hand" the "
wedding" is "
ready" and
"on the other hand" those that were "
bidden" were not "
worthy" change the perceived meaning of the verse?
33. Matthew 22:8 Word play
34. Matthew 25:15 Talent accounting
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. [kjv]
και ω μεν εδωκεν πεντε ταλαντα ω δε δυο ω δε εν εκαστω κατα την ιδιαν δυναμιν και απεδημησεν ευθεως [gnt]
One servant was given
5 "talents". Discuss:
Is it possible have negative "talents"?
Is it possible have owe "talents"?
Is it possible have lose "talents"?
Is it possible have give "talents" to others?
Is it possible to "gain" more "talents"?
Explain the reasoning for each. There are
two cases for each.
Literal physical talents - big pieces of silver.
Figurative or code word talents.
35. Matthew 25:15
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. [kjv]
και ω μεν εδωκεν πεντε ταλαντα ω δε δυο ω δε εν εκαστω κατα την ιδιαν δυναμιν και απεδημησεν ευθεως [gnt]
Latin "omen" ≈ "foreboding, omen".
Greek "ο μεν" ≈ "that on the one hand".
Might there me an
"omen" here (on the one hand)?
The Greek
"ω" ≈ "omega" is similar in sound to
"ο" ≈ "omicron". How does this verse fit the model?
... on the one hand ... 5 talents ...
... on the other hand ... 2 talents ...
... on another hand ... 1 talent ...
Is the ordering of the giving of the talents important? Explain.
36. Matthew 26:24 Raca good
Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. [kjv]
ο μεν υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει καθως γεγραπται περι αυτου ουαι δε τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται καλον ην αυτω ει ουκ εγεννηθη ο ανθρωπος εκεινος [gnt]
What is
"good" to do? How might this be
"raca"?
Does the "
on the one hand" and "
on the other hand" make a difference in how one might understand the meaning of this verse?
37. Matthew 26:24 Woe
Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. [kjv]
ο μεν υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει καθως γεγραπται περι αυτου ουαι δε τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται καλον ην αυτω ει ουκ εγεννηθη ο ανθρωπος εκεινος [gnt]
... woe then to the that man through whom the son of man is traditioned ...
The
ancient Greek word
"οὐαί" ≈ "woe, alas" is
onomatopoeic in that, if one thinks of eagles (or vultures) lurking overhead ready to feast making a screeching sound as they swoop one gets an idea of the meaning. They are "
birds" of
prey (or
pray).
Play: "
that" and "
there" "
mind".
38. Matthew 25:33 Hands
Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [kjv]
και στησει τα μεν προβατα εκ δεξιων αυτου τα δε εριφια εξ ευωνυμων [gnt]
The
"on the one hand" is
not translated. The
"on the other hand" is translated as
"but".
In both cases, the Greek word for "
out" or "
out of" is translated as "
on".
39. Matthew 16:3 Morning
Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? [kjv]
και πρωι σημερον χειμων πυρραζει γαρ στυγναζων ο ουρανος το μεν προσωπον του ουρανου γινωσκετε διακρινειν τα δε σημεια των καιρων ου δυνασθε [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"πρωΐ" ≈ "early in the day, morning".
*G4404 *12 πρωΐ (pro-ee') : adverb from G4253; at dawn; by implication, the day-break watch:--early (in the morning), (in the) morning.
Might this group be compared to those "
workers" "
hired" in the
"early morning" in the Parable of the Vineyard Workers?
How does the
"on the one hand" and
"on the other hand" fit here?
b
40. Matthew 20:23 Hands
Matthew 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. [kjv]
λεγει αυτοις το μεν ποτηριον μου πιεσθε το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οις ητοιμασται υπο του πατρος μου [gnt]
The
"on the one hand" is
not translated. The
"on the other hand" is translated as
"but".
In both cases, the Greek word for "
out" or "
out of" is translated as "
on".
41. Matthew 26:41 Hands
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. [kjv]
γρηγορειτε και προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον το μεν πνευμα προθυμον η δε σαρξ ασθενης [gnt]
Бдите и молитеся, да не внидете в напасть: дух убо бодр, плоть же немощна. [ocs]
бодрствуйте и молитесь, чтобы не впасть в искушение: дух бодр, плоть же немощна. [rus]
The
"on the one hand" is
not translated. The
"on the other hand" is translated as
"but".
42. Matthew 26:41
KJV: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Greek: γρηγορειτε και προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον το μεν πνευμα προθυμον η δε σαρξ ασθενης
43. Matthew 21:35 Put it together
Matthew 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. [kjv]
και λαβοντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου ον μεν εδειραν ον δε απεκτειναν ον δε ελιθοβολησαν [gnt]
What was done with the
"servants" or
"bait"?
 |
| beat |
now friend [harlot] |
| killed |
birded |
| stoned |
bad logic fear (of) robbers |

44. Matthew 10:13 Hands
Matthew 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. [kjv]
και εαν μεν η η οικια αξια ελθατω η ειρηνη υμων επ αυτην εαν δε μη η αξια η ειρηνη υμων εφ υμας επιστραφητω [gnt]
The
"on the one hand" is
not translated. The
"on the other hand" is translated as
"but".
45. Matthew 3:11
John the Baptist is speaking, as recorded by Matthew.
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: [kjv]
εγω μεν υμας βαπτιζω εν υδατι εις μετανοιαν ο δε οπισω μου ερχομενος ισχυροτερος μου εστιν ου ουκ ειμι ικανος τα υποδηματα βαστασαι αυτος υμας βαπτισει εν πνευματι αγιω και πυρι [gnt]
The
"on the one hand" is
not translated. The
"on the other hand" is translated as
"but".
46. Matthew 3:11
