WK Translation Notes

a
The addition of "the things" is an insertion contrary to the oldest witnesses, which enfeebles the sense here, and in 28:23, though in general a favourite expression of Luke if not peculiarly his.
b
The article before "Jesus," read by a few cursives but adopted in the T. R., has no place here in the best authorities.
