| NET © Notes |
1 tn The phrase ἐν οἷς (en Jois) can be translated “meanwhile.” 2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tn According to L&N 27.59, “to pay attention to, to keep on the lookout for, to be alert for, to be on your guard against.” This is another Lukan present imperative calling for constant vigilance. 4 sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17. 5 sn The pursuit of popularity can lead to hypocrisy, if one is not careful. |
