Footnotes

1. Luke 7:24 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2. Luke 7:24 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3. Luke 7:24 tn Or “desert.”
4. Luke 7:24 tn It is debated whether this expression should be read figuratively (“to see someone who is easily blown over?”) or literally (“to see the wilderness vegetation blowing in the wind?…No, to see a prophet”). Either view is possible, but the following examples suggest the question should be read literally, meaning that an extraordinary event like the arrival of a prophet (rather than the common occurrence of plants blowing in the wind) drew them to the desert.
