-# Connecting Statement:
-
-Jesus begins to scold the Pharisees by asking them a question.
-
-# He said to them
-
-"Jesus said to the Pharisees"
-
 # Have you never read what David did
 
-This question ends in 2:26. Jesus is reminding the scribes and Pharisees of something David did on the Sabbath. If this rhetorical question is translated as a statement or a command, then the question mark in 2:26 should become a period. Alternate translation: "You have read what David did" or "Remember what you read about what David did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
+"You have read what David did" or "Remember what you read about what David did" 
 
 # read what David did
 
-Jesus refers to reading about David in the Old Testament. This can be translated showing the implicit information. Alternate translation: "read in the scriptures what David did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
+"read in the scriptures what David did"
