NET Notes: Luk 4:29

¹ tn Grk “cast.”

² tn Or “city.”

³ tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

⁴ sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.
