| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1). 2 tn That is, carried out for burial. This was a funeral procession. 3 tn Grk “and she.” The clause introduced by καί (kai) has been translated as a relative clause for the sake of English style. 4 sn The description of the woman as a widow would mean that she was now socially alone and without protection in 1st century Jewish culture. 5 tn Or “city.” |
