| NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.” 2 tn Grk “Permit now.” 3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 4 tn Or “permitted him.” |
