Footnotes

  1. 112 One could also translate the imperfect tense here with a repetitive force like “begged him repeatedly.”
  2. 113 Or “command.”
  3. 114 This word, ἄβυσσος (abussos), is a term for the place where the dead await the judgment. It also could hold hostile spirits according to Jewish belief ( 5:6–7; 10:4–6; 18:11–16).
