Footnotes

  1. 139 The word “this” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
  2. 140 This is a good example of a second class (contrary to fact) Greek conditional sentence. The Pharisee said, in effect, “If this man were a prophet (but he is not) …”
  3. 141 The Pharisees believed in a form of separationism that would have prevented them from any kind of association with such a sinful woman.
