[7:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “And John’s.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. This is a reference to John the Baptist as the following context makes clear.

[7:18]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that John’s action was a result of the report he had heard.
