Footnotes
- 47 Grk “to my soul,” which is repeated as a vocative in the following statement, but is left untranslated as redundant.
- 48 Grk “your soul,” but ψυχή (psuchē) is frequently used of one’s physical life. It clearly has that meaning in this context.
- 49 Or “required back.” This term, ἀπαιτέω (apaiteō), has an economic feel to it and is often used of a debt being called in for repayment ( 1).
- 50 Grk “the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” The words “for yourself” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
