Footnotes
- 31 Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun ( ).
- 32 Most (א A C D L W Θ Ψ f1, 13 33 𝔐 lat syc,p,h bo) have “bread, does not give him a stone instead, or” before “a fish”; the longer reading, however, looks like a harmonization to Matt 7:9. The shorter reading is thus preferred, attested by 𝔓45, 75 B 1241 sys sa.
- 33 The snake probably refers to a water snake.
- 34 The two questions of vv. 11–12 expect the answer, “No father would do this!”
