NET Notes |
1 tn The participle ἅψας ({aya") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. 2 sn This is probably an ancient oil burning lamp or perhaps a candlestick. Jesus is comparing revelation to light, particularly the revelation of his ministry; see 1:78-79. 3 tn Or “its light,” if the Greek article is translated as a possessive pronoun (for such usage, cf. ExSyn 215). |
