[11:9]  1 tn Here καί (kai, from καγώ [kagw]) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion drawn from the preceding parable.

[11:9]  2 sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[11:9]  3 tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:11]  4 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[11:11]  5 tc Most mss (א A C D L W Θ Ψ Ë1,13 33 Ï lat syc,p,h bo) have “bread, does not give him a stone instead, or” before “a fish”; the longer reading, however, looks like a harmonization to Matt 7:9. The shorter reading is thus preferred, attested by Ì45,75 B 1241 pc sys sa.

[11:11]  6 sn The snake probably refers to a water snake.
