== Changes explained ==
*'''''ἰδοὺ''' (transliteration: '''idou''') is the second person singular [[aorist]] active imperative of the [[Greek]] verb οἶδα ('''eido'''), which is similar to an exclamation mark or an underline in modern English. ''
This gave the wrong expression that ἰδοὺ or οἶδα is a kind of exclamation mark. Being a kind of exclamation mark is a just a [[metaphor]], the first thing the reader finds should be the literal translation.
*''The reason for the emphasis -- and the precise translation of the word -- varies depending on context.'' This is more about interpretation than translation.
*''The [[King James Version]] typically translated it as "behold", but that is archaic today.'' Already mentioned in the section on the KJV.
*''Other anachronistic translations include "lo" or "see", but that merely translates how the word calls attention to what follows from it.<ref>Danker, Frederick W.: ''A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature''. 3d ed. University of Chicago Press.</ref>'' That's just the wrong way around: ''See!'' is a literal translation, and therefore calls attention to what follows....
So, I made a view changes and moved some of the text further down.
BTW, Aschlafly, on May 13, 2011 you announced that you were preparing an answer to my comments from April 18, 2011 on [[Talk:John_1-7_(Translated)]]. I would appreciate if you posted your review on this page, especially the explanation for your use of a Google search as (the only!) corroboration of the existence of a ''nuance'' of ἰδοὺ which could mean ''at that moment''.
