² tn Grk “to him, and Jesus.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ tn Grk “spoke first to him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

⁴ sn The phrase their sons may mean “their citizens,” but the term “sons” has been retained here in order to preserve the implicit comparison between the Father and his Son, Jesus.
