NET Notes

¹tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

²sn The irony in the statement Let him save himself is that salvation did come, but later, not while on the cross.

³tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text.

⁴tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

⁴sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.
