Footnotes

  1. 19 Most witnesses, some of them important (א2 A D H 1881 𝔐 lat sy bo), have σοι (soi, “you”) after παραγγέλλω (parangellō, “I charge [you]”), a predictable variant because the personal pronoun is demanded by the sense of the passage (and was added in the translation because of English requirements). Hence, the omission is the harder reading, and the addition of σοι is one of clarification. Further, the shorter reading is found in several important witnesses, such as א* F G Ψ 6 33 1739 . Thus, both internally and externally the shorter reading is preferred. places σοι in brackets, indicating some doubts as to its authenticity. Grk “I charge.”
  2. 20 Grk “testified the good confession.” Jesus’ good confession was his affirmative answer to Pilate’s question “Are you the king of the Jews?” (see Matt 27:11, Mark 15:2, Luke 23:3, John 18:33–37).
