| NET Notes |
1 tn The word “this” is used to translate the Greek article τῆς (ths), bringing out its demonstrative force. 2 tn The word “aloud” has been supplied to indicate that in the original historical setting reading would usually refer to reading out loud in public rather than silently to oneself. 3 tn The words “blessed are” are repeated from the beginning of this verse for stylistic reasons and for clarity. 4 tn Grk “keep.” L&N 36.19 has “to continue to obey orders or commandments – ‘to obey, to keep commandments, obedience.’” 5 sn The time refers to the time when the things prophesied would happen. |
