NET Notes

¹tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Grk “said to him.” The words “to him” are clear from the context and slightly redundant in English.

³tn Or “was sad.”

⁴tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn Grk “said to.”

⁶tn Grk “and said to him.” The words “to him” are clear from the context and slightly redundant in English.

⁷tc ‡ Most witnesses, especially later ones (A Θ Ψ Ë¹³ Ï), read ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsou", “Jesus”) here, while B C have ᾿Ιησοῦς without the article and א D W Ë¹ 33 565 al lat lack both. Because of the rapid verbal exchange in this pericope, “Jesus” is virtually required for clarity, providing a temptation to scribes to add the name. Further, the name normally occurs with the article. Although it is possible that B C accidentally omitted the article with the name, it is just as likely that they added the simple name to the text for clarity’s sake, while other witnesses added the article as well. The omission of ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς thus seems most likely to be authentic. NA²⁷ includes the words in brackets, indicating some doubts as to their authenticity.

⁷tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”
