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).

4 sn That is, an expert in the interpretation of the Mosaic law. They worked closely with the Pharisees.

5 tn For this term, see Matt 22;6; Luke 18:32; Acts 14:5; 1 Thess 2:2.
