Footnotes

1: “the depths of Satan.”

It is obvious that the people who call these things the “deep things,” “deeper things,” “deep truths,” or the “deep secrets,” are not going to say that they are from Satan. Jesus, in His words to John, is making that clear. So in my translation I have separated the fact that they originate with Satan, from what some people call them. A literal translation of the Greek would be, “Who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say.” The idea of “deep secrets” is more specific than “deep things” and is a bit of an assumption, but it is a very safe assumption, for that is how they referred to these things in their literature. Therefore, I have placed “deeper things” in my translation, and “deep secrets” in the paraphrase.
