Footnotes

  1. 96 Grk “cast.”
  2. 97 Or “city.”
  3. 98 The Greek conjunction ὥστε (hōste) here indicates their purpose.
  4. 99 The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.
