1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action. 2 tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally. 3 sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2. 4 tn Or “do not be bothered.” 5 sn Note the humility in the centurion’s statement I am not worthy in light of what others think (as v. 4 notes). See Luke 5:8 for a similar example of humility. |
