Footnotes

  1. 39 To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.
  2. 40 Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  3. 42 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  4. 43 Given v. 16, the expression not a hair of your head will perish must be taken figuratively and refer to living ultimately in the presence of God.

Cross references

  1. 41 See Luke 6:22, 27; 1 Cor 1:25–31.
