rwp @Matthew:10:23 @{Till the Son of man be come } (\he “s elth ˆi ho huios tou anthr “pou \). Moffatt puts it "before the Son of man arrives " as if Jesus referred to this special tour of Galilee . Jesus could overtake them . Possibly so , but it is by no means clear . Some refer it to the Transfiguration , others to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost , others to the Second Coming . Some hold that Matthew has put the saying in the wrong context . Others bluntly say that Jesus was mistaken , a very serious charge to make in his instructions to these preachers . The use of \he “s \ with aorist subjunctive for a future event is a good Greek idiom .
