[7:6]  1 tn Or “otherwise the latter will trample them under their feet and the former will turn around and tear you to pieces.” This verse is sometimes understood as a chiasm of the pattern a-b-b-a, in which the first and last clauses belong together (“dogs…turn around and tear you to pieces”) and the second and third clauses belong together (“pigs…trample them under their feet”).

[8:18]  2 tc ‡ Codex B and some Sahidic mss read simply ὄχλον (oclon, “crowd”), the reading that NA27 follows; the first hand of א, as well as Ë1 and a few others, has ὄχλους (oclous, “crowds”); other witnesses read πολὺν ὄχλον (polun oclon, “a large crowd”). But the reading most likely to be original seems to be πολλούς ὄχλους (pollou" oclou"). It is found in א2 C L Θ 0233 Ë13 33 Ï lat; it is judged to be superior on internal grounds (the possibility of accidental omission of πολλούς/πολύν in isolated witnesses) and, to a lesser extent, external grounds (geographically widespread, various texttypes). For reasons of English style, however, this phrase has been translated as “a large crowd.”

[8:18]  3 tn The phrase “of the lake” is not in the Greek text but is clearly implied; it has been supplied here for clarity.

[8:23]  4 sn A boat that held all the disciples would be of significant size.

[8:37]  5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:37]  6 tc See the tc note on “Gerasenes” in v. 26 for the same geographical options for the textual variants.

[8:37]  7 tn Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example…‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”

[8:37]  8 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  9 tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  10 sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  11 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  12 tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.

[22:11]  13 tn Grk “must do evil still.”

[22:11]  14 tn For this translation see L&N 88.258; the term refers to living in moral filth.

[22:11]  15 tn Grk “filthy, and the.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started in the translation.
