NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.

²tn Grk “they”; the referent (the twelve, v. 31) has been specified in the context for clarity.

³tn Grk “And this.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁴sn This failure of the Twelve to grasp what Jesus meant probably does not mean that they did not understand linguistically what Jesus said, but that they could not comprehend how this could happen to him, if he was really God’s agent. The saying being hidden probably refers to God’s sovereign timing.

⁵tn Grk “the things having been said.” The active agent, Jesus, has been specified for clarity, and “said” has been translated as “meant” to indicate that comprehension of the significance is really in view here.
