NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the final stage of the parable.

²tn Grk “when it grew, after it grew.”

³sn Unlike the parallel accounts in Matt 13:8 and Mark 4:8, there is no distinction in yield in this version of the parable.

⁴tn Grk “said these things.”

⁵tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35).
