Footnotes
- 110 Grk “at that very hour.”
- 111 Grk “And coming up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The participle ἐπιστᾶσα (epistasa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 112 The imperfect ἐλάλει (elalei) here looks at a process of declaration, not a single moment. She clearly was led by God to address men and women about the hope Jesus was. The testimony of Luke 1–2 to Jesus has involved all types of people.
- 113 Grk “him”; the referent (the child) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 114 A few (1216 ) read Ἰσραήλ (Israēl, “Israel”) or ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ (en tō Israēl, “in Israel”), but this reading does not have enough support to be considered authentic. More substantial is the reading ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ (en Ierousalēm, “in Jerusalem”; found in A D L Θ Ψ 0130 f13 33 𝔐), though the preposition was almost surely added to clarify (and perhaps alter) the meaning of the original. The simple Ἰερουσαλήμ, without preposition, is found in א B W Ξ 1 565* lat co. For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
