Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 6 Grk “And there.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 7 Grk “behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement adds interest and emphasis ( 1). Here it has been translated as “right” in the phrase “right in front of him,” giving a similar effect of vividness in the translation.
  3. 8 The condition called dropsy involves swollen limbs resulting from the accumulation of fluid in the body’s tissues, especially the legs.
