NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. 2 tn Grk “Jesus, answering, said to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified to “Jesus answered him.” 3 sn A quotation from Deut 6:16 used by Jesus in reply to the devil. The point is that God’s faithfulness should not be put to the test, but is rather a given. |
