Footnotes

  1. 102 Grk “And Peter.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the connection to the preceding statement.
  2. 103 Is the parable only for disciples (us) or for all humanity (everyone)? Or does Peter mean for disciples (us) or for the crowd (everyone)? The fact that unfaithful slaves are mentioned in v. 46 looks to a warning that includes a broad audience, though it is quality of service that is addressed. This means the parable focuses on those who are associated with Jesus.
