NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. 2 sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is well (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment. |
