Footnotes

  1. 50 Grk “shouting, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
  2. 51 Have mercy on us is a request for healing. It is not owed to the men. They simply ask for God’s kind grace.
  3. 52 There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, 8.2.5 [8.42–49]).
