Footnotes

  1. 75 Grk “if they do such things.” The plural subject here is indefinite, so the active voice has been translated as a passive (see ).
  2. 76 The figure of the green wood and the dry has been variously understood. Most likely the picture compares the judgment on Jesus as the green (living) wood to the worse judgment that will surely come for the dry (dead) wood of the nation.
