NET Notes |
1 sn Now Zechariah describes his son John (you, child) through v. 77. 2 tn Or “a prophet”; but since Greek nouns can be definite without the article, and since in context this is a reference to the eschatological forerunner of the Messiah (cf. John 1:17), the concept is better conveyed to the English reader by the use of the definite article “the.” 3 sn In other words, John is a prophet of God; see 1:32 and 7:22-23, 28. 4 tc Most 5 tn This term is often translated in the singular, looking specifically to the forerunner role, but the plural suggests the many elements in that salvation. 5 sn On the phrase prepare his ways see Isa 40:3-5 and Luke 3:1-6. |
