Footnotes

  1. 43 The word “even” is not in Greek; it is implied by the height of the contrast.
  2. 44 According to Jewish intertestamental literature (such as 20), Michael was one of seven archangels.
  3. 45 The sentence structure is a bit different in Greek. Literally it reads: “But Michael the archangel, when arguing with the devil and disputing.”
