NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Or “dinner.” 3 sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272). 4 tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied. |
