NET Notes

¹tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

²tn Grk “Permit now.”

³tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn Or “permitted him.”
