NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “cast.” 2 tn Or “city.” 3 tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose. 4 sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned. |
