Footnotes

  1. 160 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  2. 161 Grk “said.”
  3. 162 Most , especially the later ones (א A C*,3 D L W Θ Ξ Ψ f1, 13 33 𝔐 latt), also have “and those together with him” (with two different Greek constructions for the phrase “with him”), while several important witnesses omit this phrase (𝔓75 B Π 700* al sa). The singular verb εἶπεν (eipen, “he said”) could possibly suggest that only Peter was originally mentioned, but, if the longer reading is authentic, then εἶπεν would focus on Peter as the spokesman for the group, highlighting his prominence (cf. ). Nevertheless, the longer reading looks like a clarifying note, harmonizing this account with Mark 5:31.
  4. 163 Pressing is a graphic term used in everyday Greek of pressing grapes. Peter says in effect, “How could you ask this? Everyone is touching you!”
