WK Translation Notes

a
The copulative "And" before "Behold" has no real place, as found in the T. R.; but it is excluded by the mass of MSS.
b
The true reading I believe to be "his work is" as in some good MSS. This reading is far more energetic than the common one used in the T. R., "his work shall be."
