Footnotes
- 130 The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.
- 131 Normally, “dawning,” but as the Jewish Sabbath begins at 6 p.m., “beginning” is more appropriate.
- 132 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- 133 Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 134 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
- 135 On this term see ἄρωμα. The Jews did not practice embalming, so these preparations were used to cover the stench of decay and slow decomposition. The women planned to return and anoint the body. But that would have to wait until after the Sabbath.
- 136 Or “ointments.” This was another type of perfumed oil.
- 137 According to the commandment. These women are portrayed as pious, faithful to the law in observing the Sabbath.
