² tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

¹ tn Grk “village, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “on him,” but the word πάλιν in v. 25 implies that Jesus touched the man’s eyes at this point.

¹ tn Grk “and it is not a concern to you about anyone because you do not see the face of men.”
