Footnotes

  1. 11:44 Unseen graves: contact with the dead or with human bones or graves (see Nm 19:16) brought ritual impurity. Jesus presents the Pharisees as those who insidiously lead others astray through their seeming attention to the law.
  2. 11:45 Scholars of the law: see note on Lk 10:25.
