NET © Notes |
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated. 2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tn The words “his hands” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity. sn Washing before meals was a cultural practice that was described in the OT, but not prescribed there (Gen 18:4; Judg 19:21). It was apparently related to concern about contracting ceremonial uncleanness (Lev 11:31-38; t. Demai 2.11-12). |
