Footnotes

  1. 148 The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).
  2. 149 The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1–34).
