12:28 εν πνευματι θεου εγω ¦ εγω εν πνευματι θεου ANT PCK TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ (from our SR-GNT base).
12:28 The Pharisees were being confronted with and were rejecting the Kingdom of God itself (see Luke 17:20-21; 1 Jn 3:8). Jesus’ miracles brought the power of the Kingdom into the present reality; its ultimate consummation awaits Christ’s second coming.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces a contrast with what the Pharisees have said about how Jesus casts out demons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [On the other hand,] or [In contrast,]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ & ἐν Πνεύματι Θεοῦ ἐγὼ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ
if & by /the/_Spirit ˱of˲_God I /am/_casting_out ¬the demons consequently came on you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
Jesus speaks as if this were a hypothetical situation, but he means that it must be true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is uncertain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [since I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, the kingdom of God has come upon you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔφθασεν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ
came on you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here Jesus speaks as if the kingdom of God had come upon the Pharisees. He means that God is making where they and Jesus are into part of his kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God is ruling among you] or [this region has become part of God’s kingdom]
