NET © Notes |
1 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7. 2 sn See the note on Sadducees in 3:7. 3 tn The object of the participle πειράζοντες (peirazontes) is not given in the Greek text but has been supplied here for clarity. 4 sn What exactly this sign would have been, given what Jesus was already doing, is not clear. But here is where the fence-sitters reside, refusing to commit to him. |
