NET Notes

¹tn Grk “watch out for yourselves.”

¹sn Disciples are to watch out. If they are too absorbed into everyday life, they will stop watching and living faithfully.

²sn Or like a thief, see Luke 12:39-40. The metaphor of a trap is a vivid one. Most modern English translations traditionally place the words “like a trap” at the end of v. 34, completing the metaphor. In the Greek text (and in the NRSV and REB) the words “like a trap” are placed at the beginning of v. 35. This does not affect the meaning.
