Footnotes

  1. 179 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  2. 180 We have heard it ourselves. The Sanhedrin regarded the answer as convicting Jesus. They saw it as blasphemous to claim such intimacy and shared authority with God, a claim so serious and convicting that no further testimony was needed.
  3. 181 Grk “from his own mouth” (an idiom).
