Footnotes

  1. 12:25 His life: the Greek word psychē refers to a person’s natural life. It does not mean “soul,” for Hebrew anthropology did not postulate body/soul dualism in the way that is familiar to us.
  2. 12:27 I am troubled: perhaps an allusion to the Gethsemane agony scene of the synoptics.
