Footnotes

  2. 175 They began to stone him. The irony of the scene is that the people do exactly what the speech complains about in v. 52.
  3. 176 Or “outer garments.” Laid their cloaks. The outer garment, or cloak, was taken off and laid aside to leave the arms free (in this case for throwing stones).
  4. 177 Grk “And they.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.
