<p>20:3 <i>And he answered and said to them: I also will ask you a question. Now tell me</i>- It is not necessarily wrong to avoid answering a question- although few of us could do so in the spiritually and logically flawless way the Lord did here, let alone at a moment's notice.</p><p>The AV is mistaken in translating &quot;If you tell me, I will tell you&quot;. The sense rather is: 'If you answer this question, then in that answer you will have My telling you the answer to your question'. They finally answered in :7 that 'We cannot know' (Gk.).</p>
