Footnotes

  1. 54 ῥμέρα 1.a has “day is breaking” for ῥμέρα γίνεται (hēmera ginetai) in this verse.
  2. 55 Grk “no little consternation.” The translation given for τάραχος (tarachos) in this verse by τάραχος 1 is “mental agitation.” The situation indicated by the Greek word is described in L&N 25.243 as “a state of acute distress and great anxiety, with the additional possible implications of dismay and confusion—‘great distress, extreme anxiety.’ ” The English word “consternation” is preferred here because it conveys precisely such a situation of anxiety mixed with fear. The reason for this anxiety is explained in the following verse.
