¹ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Grk “said.”

³ tn Grk “And another also said.”

⁴ tn Grk “to those in my house.”

⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ 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).

⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the royal summons.

⁹ tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.” (and so throughout this paragraph).

¹⁰ tn See the note on the word “minas” in v. 13.
