NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.” 2 sn The point of the comparison become like little children has more to do with a child’s trusting spirit, as well as willingness to be dependent and receive from others, than any inherent humility the child might possess. 3 tn The negation in Greek (οὐ μή, ou mh) is very strong here. |
