Footnotes

  1. 78 Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 79 Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  3. 80 The form of the question assumes a positive reply. It really amounts to an objection, as Jesus’ response in the next verses shows. Jesus spoke smoothly and impressively. He made a wonderful declaration, but could a local carpenter’s son make such an offer? That was their real question.
