Footnotes
- 129 Grk “and behold, a.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, καί (kai) has not been translated here; instead a new sentence was started in the translation. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis ( 1).
- 130 The Greek here is slightly ambiguous; the subject of the verb “screams” could be either the son or the spirit.
- 131 The reaction is like an epileptic fit (see L&N 14.27). See the parallel in Matt 17:14–20.
- 132 Or “bruising,” or “crushing.” This verb appears to allude to the damage caused when it throws him to the ground. According to L&N 19.46 it is difficult to know from this verb precisely what the symptoms caused by the demon were, but it is clear they must have involved severe pain. The multiple details given in the account show how gruesome the condition of the boy was.
