Footnotes

  1. 18 Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; πήρα).
  2. 19 Grk “two tunics.” See the note on the word “tunic” in .
  3. 20 Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It might be that Matthew’s summary (cf. Luke 9:3) means not taking an extra staff or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.
