| NET © Notes |
1 tn The word “even” is not in Greek; it is implied by the height of the contrast. 2 sn According to Jewish intertestamental literature (such as 1 En. 20), Michael was one of seven archangels. 3 tn The sentence structure is a bit different in Greek. Literally it reads: “But Michael the archangel, when arguing with the devil and disputing.” |
