Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The series of expressions indicating relative shortness of time may very well differ slightly, at least in connotative meaning, but on the basis of existing NT contexts it is not possible to determine significant denotative differences. The phrases in this series may be technically regarded as idioms, but functionally they are better classed as frozen phrases, which act essentially like morphological units.'}

Comments: The first ὀλίγον in {S:04200704700032} is an expression of quantity (see {D:59.13}), while the second ὀλίγον indicates degree. Accordingly, in some languages it may be necessary to translate {S:04200704700036} as ‘but whoever has been forgiven only a few things loves only a little bit.’|In a number of languages, however, it is impossible to speak of ‘not a little’ (a case of litotes or purposeful understatement). The appropriate equivalent in {S:04401201800014} would be simply ‘there was great confusion among the guards’ or ‘the guards were intensely disturbed’ or ‘the guards were in tremendous confusion.’
