Footnotes

  1. *Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“were saying”)
  2. hSome manuscripts add “and said to them, ‘Peace to you!’ ”
  3. *Here “and” is supplied because the two previous participles (“startled” and “terrified”) have been translated as finite verbs
