¹ tn Grk “And he.”

² sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.

³ tn Grk “and every [kind of] sickness.” Here “every” was not repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

⁵ tn Grk “except by Beelzebul.”

sn Beelzebul is another name for Satan. So some people recognized Jesus’ work as supernatural, but called it diabolical.
