Fußnoten
(a)14:6 The verb ‘excidit’ literally means ‘falls out.’ It is sometimes used to refer to an event that must befall someone, usually an event of destruction or disaster.(Conte)
(b)14:7 The phrasing ‘omnis...replebitur’ means to be entirely filled up again.(Conte)
(c)14:17 Notice that the word ‘generatio’ is used to refer to lineage, rather than to the members of one time period (generation). Similarly, when Christ said that ‘this generation’ would not pass away until all was accomplished, he meant ‘this lineage,’ in other words, the human race. He was not saying that the people of that time period would see everything accomplished in their lifetime.(Conte)
