1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context. 2 sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17. 3 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21. 4 tn Or “grumbling”; Grk “were complaining, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. 5 tn Or “accepts,” “receives.” This is not the first time this issue has been raised: Luke 5:27-32; 7:37-50. |
