Notes: The phrase ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν in OET MAT 10:29 is elliptical, for it presumes some type of involvement by God in such an event. Some have interpreted the phrase ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν as meaning ‘without your Father’s consent,’ while others interpret it as meaning ‘without your Father’s knowledge.’ The particular manner or mode of involvement by God must depend upon the broader context and not upon the meaning of ἄνευ.|The phrase ἄνευ λόγου in OET PE1 3:1 is semantically equivalent to an event, for it means essentially ‘without their saying a word’ or ‘without them saying anything.’
