NET © Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. 2 tn Grk “coming up, he touched.” The participle προσελθών (proselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. 3 sn The act of having touched the bier would have rendered Jesus ceremonially unclean, but it did not matter to him, since he was expressing his personal concern (Num 19:11, 16). 4 sn Although sometimes translated “coffin,” the bier was actually a stretcher or wooden plank on which the corpse was transported to the place of burial. See L&N 6.109. 5 tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. |
