Footnotes

  1. 17 Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  2. 18 Here ἐπί (epi) followed by the genitive = “before,” especially in the language of lawsuits ( 3).
  3. 19 αὐτόν (auton, “him”) is found after πείσομεν (peisomen, “we will satisfy”) in the majority of witnesses, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is found in א B Θ 33 ). Nevertheless, English style requires the pronoun. includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
  4. 20 Grk “and you will not have to be worried” = “we will keep you out of trouble.”
