John 1:34 - NIV 2011:
Since my church is faithfully using the NIV and the 2011 revision will shortly be the only NIV on store shelves, I have been analyzing and comparing the revisions. This particular one baffled me. The traditional reading is Son of God, and as far as I can see, the NIV 2011 is the first translation that translates differently. Is there real Greek support for this revision? It cross references Isaiah 42:1, which definitely says chosen one. Thanks in advance.
I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.[a]
a. See Isaiah 42:1; many manuscripts is the Son of God.
