Footnotes
- 8 The word “this” is used to translate the Greek article τῆς (tēs), bringing out its demonstrative force.
- 9 The word “aloud” has been supplied to indicate that in the original historical setting reading would usually refer to reading out loud in public rather than silently to oneself.
- 10 The words “blessed are” are repeated from the beginning of this verse for stylistic reasons and for clarity.
- 11 Grk “keep.” L&N 36.19 has “to continue to obey orders or commandments—‘to obey, to keep commandments, obedience.’ ”
- 12 The time refers to the time when the things prophesied would happen.
