Footnotes

  1. 71 Miletus was a seaport on the western coast of Asia Minor about 45 mi (72 km) south of Ephesus.
  2. 72 The words “a message” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.
  3. 73 The words “to him” are not in the Greek text but are implied. L&N 33.311 has for the verb μετακαλέομαι (metakaleomai) “to summon someone, with considerable insistence and authority—‘to summon, to tell to come.’ ”
