[4:30]  1 tn “So” is supplied for transitional smoothness in English.

[4:30]  2 sn The imperfect tense is here rendered began coming for the author is not finished with this part of the story yet; these same Samaritans will appear again in v. 35.

[9:38]  3 sn The phrase Lord of the harvest recognizes God’s sovereignty over the harvest process.

[9:38]  4 tn Grk “to thrust out.”
