So he sent the sons and the hundred talents: Good News Bible says simply “So he did as Trypho had demanded” to avoid repetition. However, in a number of languages it will be helpful to repeat this information; for example, Contemporary English Version has “Simon sent Jonathan’s sons and the money to Trypho.”

But Trypho broke his word and did not release Jonathan: Good News Bible has a helpful model here.
