Footnotes

  1. 185 Grk “And as.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 186 Grk “going,” but “walking” is an accurate description of how they traveled about.
  3. 187 Most (A C W Θ Ψ f13 33 𝔐) add κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) here, but scribes were prone to add to the text, especially appellations for the Lord. The shorter reading also enjoys significant support (𝔓45, 75 א B D L Ξ f1 lat co). The statement “I will follow you wherever you go” is an offer to follow Jesus as a disciple, no matter what the cost.
