WK Translation Notes

a
"As it were" a voice, is required by the most ancient witnesses, though ancient versions, save Vulgate, omit it like our KJV.
b
"Wine" (oinon) is used here, by metonymy, for the vine-fruit. In the same way we speak of "a wine-grower," instead of employing the more literally correct phrase, "a grower of vines." But no sensible person would say, on this account, that "wine" means "vine fruit." But such a case affords not the slightest ground for the notion that it ever does or can denote, properly, anything else than wine, i.e. fermented grape-liquor. Such reasoning would unsettle the basis of all language.
