NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “the sayings.” 2 tn Grk “open the eyes of the blind” (“opening the eyes” is an idiom referring to restoration of sight). 3 tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “can it?”). |
