Footnotes

  1. 21 Grk “fell down.” 815 πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
  2. 22 Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  3. 23 This interpretive comment by the author forms a parenthesis in the narrative.
