NET Notes

¹tn Or “the sayings.”

²tn Grk “open the eyes of the blind” (“opening the eyes” is an idiom referring to restoration of sight).

³tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “can it?”).
