Footnotes

  1. 1 Grk “And entering, he passed through”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 2 For location see ; ; ; ; ; .
  3. 3 Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a new character. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis ( 1).
  4. 4 This is the one place in the NT the office of chief tax collector is noted. He would organize the other tax collectors and collect healthy commissions (see also the note on the word tax collector in 3:12).
  5. 5 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  6. 6 Grk “He was trying to see who Jesus was.”
  7. 7 Grk “and he was not able to because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.”
