Footnotes

  1. 139 In Luke, the term hypocrites occurs here, in 6:42, and in 13:15.
  2. 140 Most (𝔓45 A W Ψ f1, 13 𝔐 lat) have a syntax here that reflects a slightly different rhetorical question: “but how do you not interpret the present time?” The reading behind the translation, however, has overall superior support: 𝔓75 א B L Θ 33 892 1241 .
