NET Notes

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

²tn Grk “As he reclined at table.”

²sn As Jesus was having a meal. 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

³tn Grk “his.”

⁴sn The tax collectors would bid to collect taxes for the Roman government and then add a surcharge, which they kept. Since tax collectors worked for Rome, they were viewed as traitors to their own people and were not well liked.
