Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 33 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context, which involves the reversal of expected roles.
  2. 34 The point of the statement the one who humbles himself will be exalted is humility and the reversal imagery used to underline it is common: Luke 1:52–53; 6:21; 10:15; 18:14.
