¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

² tc א B pc lat read only πολλοί (polloi, “many”) here, the first hand of N reads ὄχλοι (ocloi, “crowds”), while virtually all the rest of the witnesses have ὄχλοι πολλοί (ocloi polloi, “great crowds”). In spite of the good quality of both א and B (especially in combination), and the testimony of the Latin witnesses, the longer reading is most likely correct; the shorter readings were probably due to homoioteleuton.

³ tn Grk “asked that they might touch.”

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

⁵ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).
