Footnotes

  1. 1 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  2. 2 Or “up a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὄρος, eis to oros). The expression up the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.
  3. 3 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  4. 4 Grk “And opening his mouth he taught them, saying.” The imperfect verb ἐδίδασκεν (edidasken) has been translated ingressively.
