¹ tn Heb “look.”

² tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.

³ tn See the note on the word “slaves” in 4:51.

⁴ tn That is, the “guards of the chief priests” as distinguished from the household slaves of Annas.

⁵ tn Grk “because it was cold, and they were warming themselves.”

⁶ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

⁷ tn The words “in the courtyard” are not in the Greek text. They are supplied for the benefit of the modern reader, to link this scene to the preceding one in John 18:15-18.

⁸ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “are you?”).

⁹ tn Grk “That one denied it and said”; the referent of the pronoun (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
