Footnotes

  1. 44 Grk “At that time, answering, Jesus said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
  2. 45 Or “thank.”
  3. 46 The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3–6.
  4. 47 Or “that.”

Cross references
