Footnotes

  1. 222 This is linked back grammatically by apposition to “covenant” in v. 72, specifying which covenant is meant.
  2. 223 Or “forefather”; Grk “father.”
  3. 224 Again for reasons of English style, the infinitival clause “to grant us” has been translated “This oath grants” and made the beginning of a new sentence in the translation.
  4. 225 Many important early (א B L W [0130] f1, 13 565 892 ) lack “our,” while most (A C D [K] Θ Ψ 0177 33 𝔐 ) supply it. Although the addition is most likely not authentic, “our” has been included in the translation due to English stylistic requirements.
  5. 226 This phrase in Greek is actually thrown forward to the front of the verse to give it emphasis.
