In Mark 2:2 (from whence this came), Jesus is the one speaking, so we wrote Òhe.Ó 2 Actually, Òto the sinÓ is not an indirect object. In this sentence, ÒsinÓ is actually a dative of reference (Wallace, 144ff), as youÕll learn in second-year Greek! As a result, we wrote ÒinÓ rather than the key word ÒtoÓ in our final translation. 3 Notice how the ambiguity of the word o{ti creates two very different possible meanings for this sentence!
