Footnotes

  1. 31 Grk “does not have a care for the sheep.”
  2. 32 The phrase “he runs away” is lacking in several important (𝔓44vid,45, 66, 75 א A*vid B D L [W] Θ 1 33 1241 co). Most likely it was added by a later scribe to improve the readability of vv. 12–13, which is one long sentence in Greek. It has been included in the translation for the same stylistic reasons.
