Footnotes

18 In the Greek text v. 5 is a continuation of the previous sentence, which is long and complicated. In keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
19 The pronoun is plural in Greek.
20 Grk “they began to ask him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. The imperfect tense of the Greek verb ἡρώτων (ērōtōn) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.
21 Grk “It is not for you to know.”
22 Or “to the ends.”
23 Grk “And after.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
