Footnotes

  1. Matthew 12:29 tn Grk “Or how can.”
  2. Matthew 12:29 sn The strong man here pictures Satan.
  3. Matthew 12:29 sn Some see the imagery here as similar to Eph 4:7-10, although no opponents are explicitly named in that passage. Jesus has the victory over Satan. Jesus’ acts of healing mean that the war is being won and the kingdom is coming.
