NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. 2 sn The word translated will turn is a good summary term for repentance and denotes John’s call to a change of direction (Luke 3:1-14). 3 tn Grk “sons”; but clearly this is a generic reference to people of both genders. |
