Footnotes
(a)14:19 How many oxen did he buy? Ten, i.e. five pairs, each pair being yoked together when working.(Conte)
(b)14:21 The phrase ‘plateas et vicos’ refers to the broader main streets and to the narrower side streets of the city. The word vicos can also refer to the neighborhoods within the larger city, which are traveled by those side streets.(Conte)
(c)14:23 The phrase ‘vias, et sepes’ refers to main highways traveled between cities and to the less traveled paths, which might be lined with hedges or bushes, or overgrown with weeds.(Conte)
(d)14:26
Hate not, etc: The law of Christ does not allow us to hate even our enemies, much less our parents: but the meaning of the text is, that we must be in that disposition of soul, as to be willing to renounce, and part with every thing, how near or dear soever it may be to us, that would keep us from following Christ.(Challoner)
