Footnotes
- 12 Grk “What man.” The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used here in a somewhat generic sense.
- 13 This individual with a hundred sheep is a shepherd of modest means, as flocks often had up to two hundred head of sheep.
- 14 Or “desert,” but here such a translation might suggest neglect of the 99 sheep left behind.
- 15 Grk “go after,” but in contemporary English the idiom “to look for” is used to express this.
- 16 Until he finds it. The parable pictures God’s pursuit of the sinner. On the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, see John 10:1–18.
