Footnotes

  1. 64 Grk “And another.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 65 I just got married, and I cannot come. There is no request to be excused here; just a refusal. Why this disqualifies attendance is not clear. The OT freed a newly married man from certain responsibilities such as serving in the army (Deut 20:7; 24:5), but that would hardly apply to a banquet. The invitation is not respected in any of the three cases.
