Footnotes

  1. 13 Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord—he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.
  2. 14 Grk “while I am going.”
  3. 15 Grk “another.”
  4. 16 The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
