Footnotes

  1. 133 Grk “And I.” 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.
  2. 134 Note the repetition of the verb from v. 38, an indication of the father’s desperation.
  3. 135 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  4. 136 The words “do so” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity and stylistic reasons.
