NET Notes

1 tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (his parents) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 sn This was the first of many times those around Jesus did not understand what he was saying at the time (9:45; 10:21-24; 18:34).

4 tn Or “the matter.”

5 tn Grk “which he spoke.”
