-# Connecting Statement:
-
-Jesus finishes asking the question he began in verse 25.
-
 # how he went into the house of God ... to those who were with him?
 
-This question began in 2:25. If you translated the rhetorical question as a statement or command in verse 25, then the question mark here should become a period. Alternate translation: "how he went into the house of God ... to those who were with him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
-
-# how he went into the house of God ... to those who were with him
-
-This can be expressed as a statement separate from verse 25. If so, verse 25 should end with a period instead of a dash. Alternate translation: "He went into the house of God ... to those who were with him"
-
-# how he went
-
-The word "he" refers to David.
+"how he went into the house of God ... to those who were with him."
