Footnotes

116 On this term see ἄρωμα. The Jews did not practice embalming, so these materials were used to cover the stench of decay and slow decomposition.
117 The Fourth Gospel uses ὀθονίοις (othoniois) to describe the wrappings, and this has caused a good deal of debate, since it appears to contradict the synoptic accounts which mention a σινδών (sindōn), a large single piece of linen cloth. If one understands ὀθονίοις to refer to smaller strips of cloth, like bandages, there would be a difference, but diminutive forms have often lost their diminutive force in Koine Greek ( §111.3), so there may not be any difference.
118 Grk “cloth as is the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial.”
119 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
120 See the note on Crucify in .
121 Or “an orchard.”
122 Or “orchard.”
123 Grk “been placed.”
