Footnotes

  1. 72 Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 73 Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 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.
  4. 75 This question is repeated word for word from v. 19.
