Footnotes

  1. 116 The perfect tenses in both this verse and the next do more than mere aorists would. They not only summarize, but suggest the characteristics of each ministry were still in existence at the time of speaking.
  2. 117 Grk “neither eating bread nor drinking wine,” but this is somewhat awkward in contemporary English.
  3. 118 John the Baptist was too separatist and ascetic for some, and so he was accused of not being directed by God, but by a demon.
  4. 119 Grk “Behold a man.”
  5. 120 Neither were they happy with Jesus (the Son of Man), even though he was the opposite of John and associated freely with people like tax collectors and sinners. Either way, God’s messengers were subject to complaint.
