Footnotes

  1. *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came”) has been translated as a finite verb
  2. gLiterally “that”; the conjunction could be understood (1) to introduce a direct quotation, serving a function similar to modern English quotation marks, and thus not translated; or (2) to introduce an indirect quotation, in which case it could be translated “that he would be called a Nazarene”
