NET Notes

1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Grk “those who were invited.”

4 tn Or “the best places.” The “places of honor” at the meal would be those closest to the host.
