As you noted, it is a vocative.  A vocative by its nature is addressed to a person.  Thus, adding "You" (or "Thou") isn't really out of line since it is simply an address to the person.

Subject: [B-Greek] WEB Mt.20:30

I notice that the WEB has "YOU son of David," in Mat. 20:30,31 (also in Mk. 10:47,48 and Lk. 18:38,39). The pronoun doesn't appear in any other translation I've looked at, except the KJV (italicized), and, as nearly as I can tell, it isn't in the GNT. Is there something implied in the Greek (vocative?) that would justify this usage? Thanks.
