NET © Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Zacchaeus not being able to see over the crowd. 2 sn A sycamore tree would have large branches near the ground like an oak tree and would be fairly easy to climb. These trees reach a height of some 50 ft (about 15 m). 3 tn Grk “that one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
