1 tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause, insofar as it is related to the first imperative, has the force of an imperative. 2 tn The idea of eating “your fill” is evident in the context with the use of χορτάζω (cortazw) in v. 21. 3 tn Grk “chiliarchs”; normally a chiliarch was a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15). 4 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1. |
