NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. 2 tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.” 3 tn Or “faithless.” sn The rebuke for lack of faith has OT roots: Num 14:27; Deut 32:5, 30; Isa 59:8. 4 tn Grk “how long.” 5 tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4. 6 sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual. |
