| NET © Notes |
1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. 2 sn The phrase against heaven is a circumlocution for God. 1st century Judaism tended to minimize use of the divine name out of reverence. 3 sn The younger son launches into his confession just as he had planned. See vv. 18-19. |
