Footnotes

  1. 67 Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).
  2. 68 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 69 Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1–24 ends with several remarks about joy.
  4. 70 Or “thank.”
  5. 71 The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3–6.
  6. 72 Or “that.”
  7. 74 Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.
