Footnotes

  1. 42 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  2. 43 Grk “one hundred denarii.” The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be about three month’s pay.
  3. 44 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so.” A new sentence was started at this point in the translation in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.
  4. 45 Grk “and he grabbed him and started choking him.”
  5. 46 The word “me” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
