NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “and said, saying to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

²tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.

³sn The leadership is looking back to acts like the temple cleansing (19:45-48). How could a Galilean preacher do these things?
