NET Notes

1 tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Grk “to you, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English.

4 tn This question is repeated word for word from v. 19.
