| NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “But what.” Here ἀλλά (alla, a strong contrastive in Greek) produces a somewhat awkward sense in English, and has not been translated. The same situation occurs at the beginning of v. 9. 2 sn The reference to fancy clothes makes the point that John was not rich or powerful, in that he did not come from the wealthy classes. 3 tn Or “palaces.” |
