Footnotes

  1. 12 The word προσφάγιον (prosphagion) is unusual. According to in Hellenistic Greek it described a side dish to be eaten with bread, and in some contexts was the equivalent of ὅψον (opson), “fish.” Used in addressing a group of returning fishermen, however, it is quite clear that the speaker had fish in mind.
  2. 13 Questions prefaced with μή (mē) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “do you?”).
  3. 14 Grk “They answered him.”
