| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “spoke first to him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated. 2 sn The phrase their sons may mean “their citizens,” but the term “sons” has been retained here in order to preserve the implicit comparison between the Father and his Son, Jesus. |
