Footnotes

  1. 69 Although most (א A W Θ Ψ f1 𝔐 it sy bo) read πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν (pros ton Iēsoun, “to Jesus”), other important witnesses (B L Ξ f13 33 sa) read πρὸς τὸν κύριον (pros ton kurion, “to the Lord”). A decision is difficult in this instance, as there are good witnesses on both sides. In light of this, that “Jesus” is more widespread than “the Lord” with almost equally important witnesses argues for its authenticity.
  2. 70 Grk “to Jesus, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English.
  3. 71 Aspects of Jesus’ ministry may have led John to question whether Jesus was the promised stronger and greater one who is to come that he had preached about in Luke 3:15–17.
  4. 72 Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  5. 73 Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  6. 74 Grk “to you, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English.
  7. 75 This question is repeated word for word from v. 19.
